The Caldwell AR-15 .22 LR brass catcher prevents spent casings from scattering during range sessions, keeping shooting areas clean and allowing brass recovery for reloading. This dedicated brass collection system mounts securely to standard AR-15 platforms configured for .22 LR ammunition.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic mesh bags that interfere with ejection patterns, this brass catcher features a rigid collection chamber that positions precisely at the ejection port. The system captures over 95% of fired cases without affecting cycling reliability. Standard mesh catchers often cause feeding issues or tear under repeated use, while this unit maintains consistent positioning throughout extended shooting sessions.
Key Features
- Rigid polymer collection chamber holds up to 50 spent .22 LR cases
- Quick-release mounting system attaches to Picatinny rail sections
- Heat-resistant construction withstands continuous firing temperatures
- Adjustable positioning accommodates various ejection patterns
- Clear viewing window shows case count during shooting
- Tool-free installation and removal for rapid setup changes
- Compatible with most AR-15 .22 LR conversion kits and dedicated uppers
Range testing demonstrates consistent case capture across multiple .22 LR ammunition types, from standard velocity target loads to high-velocity hunting rounds. The system performs reliably in both indoor and outdoor environments, maintaining collection efficiency in temperatures from 20°F to 110°F. Competition shooters appreciate the reduced cleanup time between stages, while training facilities benefit from easier brass management during high-volume sessions.
