Brass catchers

[bigretic]

Saw an ad for tactinet brass catcher and it's something (a brass catcher) i've always wanted but never pulled the trigger on (puns are fun)
So what say yee? What do you have and how much?
The tactinet is like $45. w/ discount for multiples. too much? I like the fact it just pops on the pic rail.
TIA for input.

Brass catchers seem like a good idea. But I'm cheap and usually just drape a rag over the ejection port of my rifle so they just drop straight down.

Great idea.

Pretty easy to tune an AR ejector. I always wanted my brass to fall on my shooting mat.

1) tap the roll pin that hold the ejector pin out (be ready to catch the ejector)

2) cut the ejector spring to only stick out of it's hole about 1 coil. This is a good place to start, one springs may need another 1/2 coil cut off.

3) Reassemble and test. I did this on both my match rifle and my service rifle. Shot 10's of thousands of rounds and never once had to call an alibi for a failure to eject.

If you don't like it, put a new stock spring under the plunger. Not many 80 cent experiments you can do to an AR.

I found a cheap way of doing it. Learned it from Don at Proteq.

Take 2 8' furring strips and a 8x12' tarp.

Staple A furring strip to each end (the 8' one) It rolls up nicely out of the way. To Deploy it. Hold it by the loose end and kinda toss/flick it underhand like you are tossing the other stick. it unfurls easily.

Granted its not portable, but if you have a home range (or pickup truck) it works great.

Have you used one of these?
I have been tempted to buy one for a while.

Haven't heard of the "Tactinet" ones, but I use a Caldwell branded one that's identical in design. Surely made by the same Asian children.

Works really well, and will hold about 60 cases before it really needs emptied. Easy on/off and you can find multiple pic-rail shoes to transfer between rifles. It may block an ambidextrous bolt release.

It can cause malfunctions if you're using non-standard positions - such as rolled 90° left as through a VTAC board or under some other barricade.

Yes. I've had one for 3-4 years. I've never had a problem. It catches everything

FIFY Some are made south of the border.

I wanted a brass magnet net, but those things are salty at $175. At that price, they had better be sewing those domestically and just using foreign sourced materials. (which apparently are out of stock right now because they say they are out of stock and to check back June 1.

Bought this primarily because it's American made. Takes up a good bit of room on the shooting bench.

Lovemywoods (an engineer by trade) has the simplest, most efficient system I have seen. He sets up a medium sized empty box appropriately to catch brass. A couple of ammo boxes hold it down and keep the brass from rolling out
