ironhorse Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hi chaps my question is shell deflector I have heard somewhere that this gismo when attached to a semi auto shotgun, deflects the spent cartridges down as opposed to flinging them up the field in the brambles and into mates ears, Have any of you chaps seen or tried one of these shell deflectors or can anyone tell me anymore about them.

Warlock Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Never seen or heard of a shell deflector, the only thing about a deflector is that it would impede inserting a shell into the chamber, so if there was one it would just get in the way.

HW682 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hi, maybe try searching the forum because that question has come up several times. Can't remember what the answer is though. I think someone gave a link to a US site, but can't remember if it was only for one specific model? HW682 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayman Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Commonly used in the States by trap shooters. Available as a down deflector or a collection bag types. You'll need to source one over there and get it posted - never seen any on sale here. Its a Yank Thing, and to do with their regs on the use of semi-s in competitions.

Beardo Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 i remember posting some links to these (for Beretta auto's), there is a thread somewhere (here!) but i remember sending a pm to another user with specific links to the beretta one's. What shottie have you got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironhorse Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Thamks for the answers chap, My gun is Urika 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) think this is the one... Plan 5 which is just a deflector and not a catcher (the catcher stops the shell from being thrown at all) Edited February 22, 2009 by nickbeardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edr Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I also posted the same question, for the same gun but in synthetic. It arised after a man at a ground where i was shooting came over and said a ground in the UK has just had a few brougt in from america, he told me the name but I couldn't remember it. The problem with the one that nickbeardo told us about is there international orders policy(Here). This would work if enough people wanted to get one, I carried on my search never got any further.

EDR Thanks for your reply EDR; I too have been trawling the internet and local gun shops, the shell deflector it appears is only available in the USA. I would have thought that one gun importer would have jumped on this one by now; I like to shoot with my Urika2 synthetic but get totally fed up having to hunt down all my spent cartridges, which always seem to find there way into the thickest bramble bush known to man. I had owned a Browning Gold auto years ago but sold it for an o/u, I had forgotten why I sold it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
