Thread: Picatinny Rail Thingy

I was wondering if any clever bugger's on here would be able to fabricate a couple of these picatinny rail adaptor's,it allows for a brass catcher to be attached
I'll attach some pics

Could you cut down a chunky scope mount?

I thought about trying to do that ... I have very limited tools and experience etc .. it could be a track I may end up going down ..If you have any suggestions Kimjon id be keen to hear

I can't quite figure out the attachment method for the bag? But something like this could possibly be made to work?

But not 100% sure as I don't have all the information. What I have learnt in life is its easier and cheaper to try use something that already exists most of the time, rather than build from scratch.

something like that might work ,this is how the bag attaches

Can't you buy the rail attachment separately ?

I use the Caldwell one, I have two bags & 10 rail attachments.

That's what ideally I'd like to buy the attachments ,I've emailed the manufacturer..but won't hold my breath for reply or if able source/ship nz

Try reloaders. I brought one bag(and mount) plus a extra mount - so 2 firearms, one bag. They might still have them, as it was maybe 18 mths ago? $15??? may have that wrong, but it was bugger all. The extras werent on the website, needed to call.

might try drill couple holes in this mount and remove the top half and grind flat

What brand catcher @Beaker ?
Mine's a "3 Bucc"

Just found the invoice - @seano

Catcher bag -
Caldwell AR15 Brass Catcher Picatinny Rail - Magazines - Gun Parts - Reloaders Supplies Ltd

Spare mounts -
Caldwell AR15 Brass Catcher Picatinny Rail Spare Mount - Magazines - Gun Parts - Reloaders Supplies Ltd

Was a bit wrong on my memory of cost for the mounts, they were both $10 cheaper when I got them, but that was May 2014,

Yup, Reloaders have extra mounts for the Caldwell brass catcher. Unlike Gun City and Serious Shooters, if it's on the web site at Reloaders you can actually buy it.

These things?


My one just clips on and off with a little detent.
I have used it in a few 3gun stages now and don't even notice it is on.
Clear rifle, unclip and show clear.
Better than losing brass in the long grass I reckon.😆

Will do the job ,will do the next one with bit ones precision
