Some guys were just in here for the afternoon break and were doing some shooting outside so I took my last "evil gun", well built one anyway, out and tried to shoot left handed. I was amazed at how well I did considering the end of my left finger has been sewn back on. It was a constant mental challenge to keep good form but atleast I could see through the peep sight. Then bang, thump, dang thats hot. A casing bounced off my chin and went into my sweatshirt. Didn't hurt me but I was very nervouse for the rest of the shooting. Is there anyone who makes a strap on case deflector for the early AR-15s? I still got excellant original early finnish and I don't want to damage it. Thanks, Hotch

You could use some high density closed cell foam and shape it like the ones on AR15H-BAR's and stick it on with a little velcro, I got sick of this and bought a GI brass catcher for $2 at the flea market. I thought that brass spring loaded ball would mar the finish but it has not really and the blemish all but disappears after a wipe her down with a clean cloth and a squirt of CLP.

The early M-16s and AR-15s used USGI brass deflectors, try looking on E-bay, "Save History" was one vendor selling them.

Dont buy one of those mesh brass catchers that velcro on the handgaurd they are waste of money. I have one about all its good for is putting empty brass in to take home.
