Caldwell 530143 AR-15 Brass Catcher Picatinny Mount Black Mesh

The Caldwell 530143 AR-15 Brass Catcher eliminates the tedious task of policing spent brass while maintaining a clean shooting position. This Picatinny rail-mounted system captures ejected cases efficiently across multiple rifle platforms without interfering with normal operation.

What Makes This Different

Unlike heat-sensitive brass catchers that mount to the ejection port, this Picatinny rail system positions the collection bag away from hot gas and debris. The reinforced mesh construction withstands repeated impact from high-velocity brass ejection while the adjustable mounting bracket accommodates various rifle configurations. Quick-release mechanisms allow rapid bag removal without tools.

Key Features

• Universal Picatinny rail mounting system fits AR-15, AR-10, and LR-308 platforms
• Heat-resistant black mesh bag captures up to 50 rounds of mixed brass
• Adjustable bracket positions bag for optimal brass collection angle
• Quick-detach mechanism enables rapid bag removal and emptying
• Reinforced stress points handle repeated impact from ejected cases
• Compact profile maintains weapon maneuverability and sight picture
• Durable polymer construction resists weather and cleaning solvents

Field testing demonstrates consistent brass capture rates exceeding 95% across various ammunition types and firing positions. The system performs reliably during rapid-fire sequences and maintains collection efficiency in prone, bench rest, and standing positions. Weather-resistant materials ensure consistent operation in rain, dust, and temperature extremes common at outdoor ranges.
