I don't think anyone has bothered to make a specific one for it since you can't reload the brass, and no manufacturer cares if you have to pick up all your range brass.

Try some sort of mesh bag, strapped on to it. Should work. Some zip ties should be all you need.

I found one like that, but it didn't look very good. Certain places I shoot, I just don't want to leave a big mess lieing around. It's not that I have to pick up my brass. I don't even reload reloadable ammo.

I don't want something I'll have to hold in my off hand either, that's just a joke, I might as well fix a coat hanger with a garbage bag :rolleyes:

:D

If worse comes to worse, just make sure to bring a friend with you and have them catch the ejected brass in a garbage bag! :D

No extra weight, no funny straps.

It's your wife's job to pick up the brass. Ha!

Why would you want to catch mt 22 brass? :confused:

Lay an old sheet or small tarp on the ground.

I drape a piece of heavy vinyl over the receiver on my M1A. (I had to lightly scribe it with a razor to get it to fold at exactly the right spots. Don't scribe the cloth side, scribe the 'vinyl side.) That "catches" the brass for me right below my right hand. Is that good enough? You can get heavyweight scrap vinyl from an upholsterer. 2 square feet probably weighs 3-5 ounces.

If your shooting from a relatively fixed spot like a bench, and the gun throws the brass pretty consistently you could just set out a trash can or 5 gallon bucket. Sure you'd have to catch some stragglers, but no goofy stuff on your gun and less of a mess.

I want to shoot this in a place that I don't want to make a mess. That's all. And I want to be able to walk around with it.

You might make your own out of some plastic tubing. Get a peice of conduit, or pvc big enough to cover the ejection port, and a cap for one end. Then you'll need some thin peices of steel strapping or something to make hooks that pressfit/slide over the top of the receiver. You could put an elbow right at the ejection port with a straight peice on it so that the peice sticks straight down.

It can be swaged into .224 slugs on your rockchucker press. The brass is on the thin side so they're basically varmint bullets. If I can get my digital camera to work I'll post some pics of the finished product.

What about a mesh bag with velcro sewn on the open side and velcro applied to the rifle above the ejection port? I can picture that, but am having troubles explaining it. Basically the bag would be small enough to not interfere with your trigger operation so it would probably need to be emptied after each full magazine. The adhesive on the velcro isn't the strongest, but it means that it can be removed easily.... Like I said, I have a mental image, but I can't explain thing properly w/o using my hands.....

Do you have a scope on your rifle?
You could make a rigid rail that mounts onto the dovetail on your receiver. Then attach a mesh bag to that. I found a pic of an AR brass catcher to give you some ideas for a homemade using velcro.

I think MLC has the best idea yet; if you bend a coat-hanger into a small rectangle, hang a mesh bag off of that rectangle, and then velcro the rectangle onto your rifle, it should catch all of your brass. On the other hand, anything that close to your bolt handle might end up interfering with loading/unloading or functioning.
