Shell catcher

[KDX]

Does anybody know if there is such a thing to be found? I'm thinking of getting a Marlin 7000 and it would be nice to have something to put on the side to catch the spent casings instead of picking them up off of the floor and dash. Somedays you just have to do drive-bys on them gophers.

It sounds stuipd but a buddy and I have used a cheap dollar store kids butterfly net to catch brass. I works good with two people, but if you are bench shooting you can rig it up to work with one person.

Good idea. Maybe I could use an aquarium net and make a little frame for it. :wink:

I have seen a Small square green aquarium net mounted on a 10/22.
Didn't look to bad, and worked well. I was thinking of making one also.

I don't know if the netting can handle the hot brass, and various sparks for long.
But it would be a neat project.

Here are some funky box type ones:

Another idea...might be good for the net:

Thanks for the links. If you do make one or see that one again, could you post some pics?
