Brass Deflector Pad

[tactic-als]

Just the other day someone was asking how to reduce how far brass gets flung from his rifle.

Without ever asking a guy at work suggested buying some adhesive backed weather stripping, cutting to fit and apply to rifle. VOILA, brass doesn't go very far.

I found this at Home Depot. More than enough to do 20 rifles and cost just over $3.00. If you think it won't stay on long, try this. Use a hair dryer and heat the brass deflector before applying. After you stick it on, keep the hair dryer on it for a minute or so...and it should stay on for a very long time.

Let me know what you think...

Like Mr. Ford said: "...you can have it in any color you like, as long as it is black!"

eta: oops...the OP beat me to the punch on the colour!

I've always used adhesive backed velcro on my brass deflectors.
I glue it on so it stays put.
It too comes in black.

I use velcro too. I put it on to keep the brass from getting dented. Works real good.

I'm not alone.
That's exactly what my brass deflectors look like.
My brass comes out looking great, even on the large framed AR's.

I also slightly round the sharp corners of the extractor and on the barrel extension lugs than contact the case during feeding.
A tiny bit of filing, and stoning, and those long scratches on the cases will be greatly minimized.
My brass almost looks like it came from a bolt-gun.

Holy crap....thought I was transported to ARFCOM for a minute.

If you crimp your gas tube your brass doesn't go far at all!
