steve_b_wales Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Does anyone know of a company who sell cartridge defelectors for semi auto shotguns, something like a universal one. Or has anyone made one that works? I'm fed up of picking up spent cases all over the place when out in the field. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Speak to Chris at UKGunworks (Linky), he has had one designed and made in the UK that works very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peathag Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Try a company called Birchwood Casey in USA - cartridge catcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Try a company called Birchwood Casey in USA - cartridge catcher. Tried the above, but no way of ordering to be sent to the UK. I have emailed them to ask if it's possible. However, looking at their 'save it' shellcatcher, which only holds the ejected case until manually removed (no good for me when firing 3 shots in quick succession) I have decided to try and make my own (if not basic) version of it. The prototype has been 'manufactured' and will be tried out tomorrow morning to see if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retromlc Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 i actually followed a tread on this a while back,and made one to fit an auto,,although it wasn't "finished" it did work very well,but i showed it on here and got the **** taken out of it.i looked into getting them made,but the response was so poor that i never followed it up.the main problem with them is that mine stuck out quite a bit and members thought it would visually get in the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 So Did'nt take it with me today, just as well, cos' there was hardly any birds up there. Changed the idea now, and working on a different type. Fitted it to my shotgun (via xtra strong double sided tape) and ejected a spent cartridge manually. It did deflect the case and stopped it going a few yards. I'm going to try it out sometime next week(weather permitting) and will report my findings. better check A&E A&E + Welsh Air Ambulance are on stand by!

HDAV Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I am sure I saw one called a shell catcher or similar with a net bag on it that collected the spent carts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I am sure I saw one called a shell catcher or similar with a net bag on it that collected the spent carts A net bag would be okay for 22LR cases, I suppose, but not for shotgun cartridges.

steve_b_wales Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I tried it with a couple of cartridges today, and, although the spent cases were deflected, they still went too far. SO, it's back to the workshop (shed) to make some alterations. Photo's will be shown, if and when it works correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Why wouldn't a bag under the deflector be suitable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromlc Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 the one i made worked well,it was fixed to the barrel end of the action and I'd glued a magnet to the stock end of the action,so the catcher could be swung out of the way to reload from the side or whatever needed to be done.it had a cage on it which deflected the cartridge down and into a net ,eventually i cut the bottom off the net so the cartridge just dropped out onto the floor,when the net was sealed the spent carts built up and were differcult to extract from net,worked well i must say.looked odd though.

steve_b_wales Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Why wouldn't a bag under the deflector be suitable? It probably could work, but I'm happy for the cartridges to fall to the floor, as long as they are not too far away from me. Any odder than this http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/184878-benelli-shell-catchers/page__pid__1565218#entry1565218 My device does not catch the spent cases, it just deflects them.
