Bench Top Brass Catcher - where to buy?

mjrodney · March 5, 2006, 04:18 PM

At the range today, I saw two shooters using a Bench Top mounted brass catcher. It was not attached to the pistol, but rather was free standing near the side of the gun. It used a telescoping vertical pole and used a mesh net to catch the brass.

Can anyone direct me to a supplier of this handy little device?

MJ - I made my own for less than $5. Cut the top "ridged" section off a 5 gallon pail for the frame. At WalMart I bought one of those zippered bags women wash their delicates in in the washing machine. It fit around the hoop from the 5 gal pail and I secured it with ty wrap straps. I then made a small wood block which I attached to the top of the pail and drilled a hole so a dowel could be inserted and extend into the net to hold it up and open. On the bottom I fashioned another block which I screwed to the pail hoop. This block has a small steel plate (2x2x 3/16) which is drilled and tapped for the mount on my camera tripod. Can be set at any height you like and works great.
