Very good article indeed,I think I will be ordering one of those catchers in the near future{read,out of funtickets.LOL}It does look to be everything a person would want in a catcher,thank You for posting this bit of information.

I did do a google search for brass catchers and I did not see that site in there.

I will still have to take Mine rifle out and test the mods I made on the mesh bag catcher. :woohoo: If it would ever dry up enough to get into the range,gumbo mud all the ways. :S
I will report how it works for those that already have these mesh bags and maby they will want to take about a 1/2 hour and fix theirs about the same way.

I primarily use Mine AR10 at the range and the areas I hunt has very little cover to snag the mesh bag. :laugh:

I know what you mean about Google searches. My buddy and I type the same words into Google and his compute displays something different than mine. I've also found that changing the words a little results in things being displayed that should have show when using previous key words.

Well,It has been a while,been doing some traveling,been home about a week but in that time I did have a chance to take the AR10 out and was popping P.Dogs out to four hunnert yards,would have shot longer ranges but that is far out as the town went. :P
The bag brass catcher did work...............for a while then it decided to kinda drop down,tried resetting it but it just would not stay put so I held it into position with Mine fingers which worked but was a bit of a pain,I looked it over and I do`nt think there is anyway to bungeeee the back end of that catcher so it wont sag,while it was in position it did a real nice job on catching but I will work on it and see if I can velcroe or bungeee the back end up and report back in here.

Mr Marty,

Thanks for the feedback. I've been trying to get Vector Tactical to make an AR-10T brass catcher without any luck. All they make are catchers for AR-15s. They said it was a good idea and they had a lot of requests for a larger AR-10T version, but haven't made any yet. My patience is dwindling so I may make one like you did also.

I was thinking about making a protype out of a coat hanger and then insulate the wires with some heat shrink tubing so it doesn't scratch my rifle. Coat hangers are easy to bend and manipulate. I figured I'd use some wornout fatigues as the material since it is tear resistant and hopefully doesn't melt from the hot brass. Also it's not mesh so it shouldn't catch on everything and it being camo doesn't hurt either. I want to sew one of those flat springs in the bottom of the bag so you don't have to mess with zippers. When you want to empty the bag, just push on each end of the flat spring and it pops open, release the spring and it pops back shut.

Interested in your latest design, Jer

Maby try some oxy/aceteleyne welding rod and use some windshield washer hose for the insulator,it is a bit more thicker than heat shrink and the welding rod is a bit stiffer than coat hanger and wo`nt deform as easily.
them mesh bags catchers is like about nine bucks.

I was planning to make a stronger frame after I've worked the bugs out with the lighter and easier to bend coat hanger. Once in the final design, I'd add the flat spring and whatever else I discover during the design phase.

Keep me informed about your design and trial/errors. Jer

The Tactical Brass Catcher is available in an option that mounts to the Delta-ring. So have no fear, it will fit your rifle!
