Norinco CQ-311 question

[Zygy]

Hi guys,

I was just wondering if there is any way to put a brass deflecter on one of these, and if so, would anyone have any info on it?


Thanks,
Zygy

On regular AR-15s, the brass deflector is integrated into the upper receiver. It is not a screw-on part. I am not aware of any brass deflectors designed for older AR-15s. I think that the only thing you can do is drill a hole in the upper receiver and screw in a deflector, but you'll have to make the parts yourself.

When I had an old Colt, I made one out of sheet metal, filled it with caulking, painted it, and stuck it on with, believe it or not, a small adhesive strip. It totally worked, stayed on while in use, and could come off quickly without any markings on the rifle. Note the paint chipped off it.

However, this is not my idea. I saw this thing in a picture once, so I should pass it on. I began by making a template out of heavy paper, cutting, trimming and taping it together. Then I pasted the paper to sheet metal and got out a cutting wheel on a Dremel. Bending done by pliers.

There is a brass deflector for the older Ar's. The piece snaps in the carry handle. Creedmore sports has it for about $20 USD

If you are a lefty (As some of our customers are) you can simply drift out the ejector retaining pin, remove the ejector and clip 2 coils from the ejector spring. This will cause the ejected brass to go forward rather than backward into the side of your head. (I'm a south paw too)

I was just about to suggest this. I think it was NavyShooter has one of his AR's tuned this way. Was reading it in a post a year back or so.

deflector

i just trimed the ejector sping by a couple of coils. now my brass goes foward about a foot into a neet little pile. not back over my shoulder about 30 ft into the range parking lot spinng like mad all the way.

I actually formed one out of gas tank repair epoxy, and made it look exactly like an A2 deflector...

But in a few hundred rounds, it cracked off. Worked good for a while... but the extractor spring is much easier and works much better!

Why bother it is not that expensive for a no name upper reciever.
