3D printed brass catcher for CTS trimmer

Got tired of having brass shavings everywhere when trimming down brass. My buddy recently got a 3D printer so we got some ideas together and made something that works well to contain/direct the brass shavings. https://i.imgur.com/dL2MEV8m.jpg https://i.imgur.com/uzUbk82m.jpg https://i.imgur.com/qCOh...

Re: Do I need another suppressor?

I would get a different design then a lighter version of the one you have. My 2 cents. I think that's where my head is at as well. I started looking out at other manufacturers, and holy crap there are a ton of options out there now and the prices on a lot of them are pretty reasonable. I guess I ju...

Re: Do I need another suppressor?

I'm definitely content with the performance, however I haven't really compared it to other suppressors to see how it stacks up in the real world. I know it's "old tech" and a no frills suppressor, but it does work great. The Ti is $599 right now. I paid $609 for my SS when I bought it back...

My struggle is that I already own an older YHM QD 30 cal can but in the stainless steel flavor...I really love that can, and have mounts on m...

Re: First outing with my Ruger American 300: ammo, mags

Had the exact same concern (see post http://www.300blktalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=137&t=98682 )... On the second range trip, the mag release tab was broken when I took my rifle out of the case. A call to Ruger and they sent me a replacement. Also emailed them about the feeding problem and the...

Also, no brass was harmed during the filming of this video... brass catcher was removed for video only, all pieces were recovered. :mrgreen:
