If I ever get off the fence and order one I’ll let you know what I think.

Well, huh. That would sure work. I'll have to think on that a bit. Thanks!

I keep saying I am going to try one of these. I hate shooting stuff that throws the brass everywhere and I have turned a number of catchers with varying success. For $69.99 this might not be a bad idea. I know it wouldn’t work at most shooting ranges, but on your own property would be great.

Vigorous ejection (reply)

One of the very early small full auto shoots I was part of, a guy had an FNC. It ejected at a decent upward angle but mostly to the right. You could mag dump 30 rounds before the first piece of 5.56 brass hit the ground, about 40 feet off to your right!

Then, there are two more commie guns, like your CZ, one wa also an older CZ, the little Skorpian .32 acp machine pistol. It ejected round straight up with great vigor, uch more than you would imagine for the little .32. We learned very quick to not shoot it under the covered position because it would blast them back down at you with a good bit of force after hitting the metal roof! Another commie gun in the same 7.62 as your CZ was one of the Russian subguns. I forget exactly which model it was but it used the drum and had a wood stock. PPSh40? Anyways, it ejected straight up as well and a woman shoooting with us one day caught a couple of pieces of hot brass down her shirt. Luckily in the bac of her shirt. She did an excellent job of not sweeping the crowd with a loaded open bolt sub gun. It she did take a short break to remove the hot brass and then she borrowed a hoodie and proceeded to empty the drum with the hood up and a slightly hunched forwards stance!

I’m pretty sure John K recently posted some brass fired from a Bren LMG that wa stuck in a wooden shooting bench. I have fired a few mags from BREn guns before and was told to keep your hands away from the trigger guard! Same for the Lahti anti tank rifle!

are all gravely concerned with the many thousands of low orbiting space junk. it is assumed that a good percentage are spent 7.62x25mm cases launched from czech self-loading pistols.....

We've used a tarp on the ground to the right side. (reply)

For most guns, it does a decent job of collection. For the CZ-52, it'd have to be a BEEEG tarp. I swear the empties exit almost as fast as the bullet. 30 ft is easily made with more beyond that.

A $5 poly tarpaulin..... (reply)

stretched-out on the ground to your right can catch most. From that particular model, a tarp may catch a few.....

Give the grandkids a one cent bounty for every piece of brass they recover.

Or hire a teenager to stand beside you .... (reply)

I think you're on to something. I have a passel of grandkids who'd work for free!

That would work at the cabin and I need to build one. I kinda figured what I have seen was 'hokey' at best. Thanks.

catch what they can and recover the rest. Beats stooping over for 15 or 20 minutes.

Never seen one that works decently, some cause jams, not fun to use.........get a small minnow net or storm door screen, make a light weight frame with the net or screen attached to it then hang it on a tripod to knock the brass down, into a pile. Wouldn't work in a indoor range though, outside kinda thing, I made something similar a few years back to use at Cannon's shoot.

Are any of them worth a shix? I have a CZ-52 I don't shoot as it flings brass into a different zip code and I'd like to recover some of it.

Thanks!
