Seen one of these advertised for $145.00 on abused guns.

Took me 15 mins,,, a bit of aluminium offcut, and a cable tie to produce this as a one off.
Have ordered a pool table replacement basket to take the place of a zip lock bag.

Tried it today with both a .308 and the .22/250

Works flawlessly.

According to the advert,,,,,,,,,, perfectly legal in Qld. But definitely not in NSW.

Just bend down and pick the brass up, ya lazy bugger

[disco stu]

What's the reasoning on them being illegal in nsw? Seems like focusing on the wrong thing, not like it's dangerous. It's like banning ashtrays to stop people smoking pot

[Bugman]

I have been pistol shooting at a range in Sydney and one of the shooters had a case catcher attached to his firearm. The was a bit of a fuss from some other shooters, but as far as the comp rules went it was ok.....don't know about the legality though

[on_one_wheel]

Because brass catches can turn an otherwise law abiding shooter into an instant covert, tactical, assassin sniper who's completely untraceable.

99% of my shooting is done in total darkness and with long grass/bushes on the ground.
Once a case flies out in the dark and down onto the ground,,,,, you've got a snowflakes chance in hell of finding it.

Mmmmm, red & black tiger stripe stockings. Sexy.

I understand.

[Oldbloke]

Why on earth would that be illegal? Honestly whoever wanted that included in legislation must watch waaaay too much "b" grade Hollywood action movies.

Bloody annoying trying to find .22LR brass in grass. They invariably fall butt-first so you're looking at the dark mouth opening.

I use various brass catchers on rifles, but I also made a desk-mounted one that makes life a little simpler.

[on_one_wheel]

Iv found that if I leave my ammo box open, placed in the right position, about 1 in 1000 rounds lands right into an empty slot.

For trick shots, I like to eject the empties up in the air and into my shirt pocket, guaranteed to miss 100% of the time when someone's watching... smooth

BR,,,,,,,,
I was in the throes of doing just what you have pictured,, on the right hand end of my shooting rigs bench.
And,, was thinking of trying an old table tennis net or that nylon bird net that you drape over fruit trees.

But by stealing the idea from that advert what I have now is much better.
Because I run mainly the same scopes on most of my rifles,, that makes it easy to change from one to the other.

Just looking closer at yours,,,,,,,,,,, isn't that one of those baby bouncers ??

I run the same scope on my rifles, but I need to mount the case catcher in different positions depending on how they eject. Magnets are handy.

Not quite
I made the frame out of 6mm steel rod from Bunnings (very handy for lots of things) and I think the net is actually an old piece we had over the orchard.
Amazingly, I left the contraption out in the paddock when the cows grazed through and they didn't try to destroy it
That's just after 220rds of testing S&B .22LR again, I can't get any of it to shoot even half decently. The HVHP is probably the best, but it's not great at around 25mm. Club and Subsonic are almost as good, and Standard is garbage shooting groups of around 50mm at 50m.

DJ how is it held in place?

[boingk]

Illegal or not, if you're out bush whos going to know?

Great idea!

[Die Judicii]

DJ how is it held in place?

Years ago I bought a Lightforce Night Hunter outfit.
It has two plastic mounts (one 25mm and one 30mm) that were intended to go on the scope tube and then clip the light onto it with a quick release catch.

All I did was raid that mount and clipped my case catcher on instead of the light.
It's done up just tight enough to stay where I position it,,, but loose enough to rotate it up and out of the way to enable top loading, then
swing it down to be ready to catch cases.
And the quick release catch comes in handy to empty the bag.

[boingk]

DJ how is it held in place?

Just drill a hole into the lid of a plastic cigarette pack case. Ziptie to the scope.

Done.

[Die Judicii]

Well here it is now that I got the black net to take the place of the ziplock bag.

Bloody hard to get good pics of it cos when you sit it down it just collapses and looks like a black blob.
And I couldn't get it to hang at the right angle to get a good pic either.
Ended up holding it in one hand and taking pic with the other hand.

Yes and the retard that came up with this idea obviously does not know how a revolver works .

'deye243' has posed an interesting scenario which seems to have been lost on some posters here.
Perhaps I can explain the comment?
The premise is that an ejected cartridge case catcher will deny an investigator access to evidence at a crime scene, hence their illegality.
But a revolver retains all spent cartridge cases, ergo, no evidence is left at the scene.
Therefore, "the retard that came up with the idea (that a case catcher should be illegal) does not know how a revolver works".
Or is that too difficult to understand?

[disco stu]

Isn't that the reason why nsw police used revolvers for so long? That was what I was told by someone years ago, because they needed to account for all fired shots including keeping the spent cases

The reasoning some states had them banned/illegal is understandable due to the law makers beliefs,,,,,, but the blanket rule applied,,, (presuming that everyone that had one would be, or become a crazed criminal.

How a revolver works was a given (though I'm not a pistol user) I do know how they work.
I was just blown off course a tad by deye243's post due to me not even thinking of trying to use one on a pistol/revolver and therefore never
mentioning such.

Are you joking? Are brass catchers really illegal in Aus?
