steve_b_wales Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Back last year, I made a very simple device that deflected spent cases down to the floor. The only problem I had was finding a way of fixing it to the side of the shotgun. I shelved the idea, but will now look into it again.

I shelved the idea, but will now look into it again. hello, i see that post steve, i watched some videos of semi autos ejecting cartridges using deflectors or catch bags, i am sure something can be made that wont look out of place or bulky, and save that routing about in the grass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 hello, i see that post steve, i watched some videos of semi autos ejecting cartridges using deflectors or catch bags, i am sure something can be made that wont look out of place or bulky, and save that routing about in the grass Yes, my idea was simple, but worked. Basically, a curved piece of metal which deflected the spent cases down to the floor. As mentioned, getting it to attach firmly to the shotgun was my problem. I'm going to look into this again this week and see if I can work out a way of doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ips Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 hello, was it the birchwood casey save it 12 guage semi auto gadget like on amazon? Nope don't think it was that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 I have never seen any gadgets to catch cases,and can not see anything being effective. I've seen a few in the past...may have been hallucinating though...they even WORKED as intended. One of the simplest DIY types was an empty 2 litre milk bottle with handle.

gemini52 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Try a rubber band over the ejection port , it will take a few attempts to find the best position http://www.trapshooters.com/threads/rubber-band-ejection-control.103627/ What will that achieve?

But after 10-15 shots, the deflector came loose. I'm thinking of ways of fixing it more firmly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDS Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 This was being pushed a few years ago but unfortunately fits Beretta only https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWq5zk8eoyc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancer425 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) The catcher in the video looks to work well enough, and i hate loosing cases especially 10ga yet i still do not feel i would use such a device if one existed for my semi autos. Perhaps i am wrong but i feel that as its the Original posters first day with his semi auto he has come away surprised how they throw them about, i say give it a few outings with the gun get into the routine of clearing up after yourself, you might miss a few cases yet i would rather loose a few than put up with the encumbrance of a catcher pulling cases off the rail it is not for me. A deflector perhaps but again with that it is something else on the side of the gun to get in the way, i think i would just pick up afterwards if it were my choice.
