    Large Frame AR 308/243 Brass Catcher

    What brass catchers are ya'll using on your large frame AR's?


    Also, let me know if you found a brass catcher that has worked on a bolt action too.

    i have been running the caldwell pic rail brass catcher on AR15 and AR10 platforms with optics. The AR10 mounts forward and the AR15 at the rear. 2 different catchers for each platform.

    They have gone up apparently, but are a decent product. For the $40-50 price, you might find something you like better.

    Got the Codwell for mine (actually bought two), but it won't work on my brothers because his has a reciprocating charge handle.

    Any recommendations for his?

    I dont have brass catchers but do have deflectors made for them. In prone the brass ends up beside my left elbow in my mat.During the 2 slow fire stages you have to single load and brass catchers get in my way

    I had the OLD caldwell, it worked terribly. What ever you get, make sure the 'chute' is plastic or metal with the 'bag' below it. It should also hang off the rail, not forend.
    Whatever!
