E&L Manufacturing Inc. RIGID BRASS CATCHERS

[SSCUSTER]

Has anyone here ever used a Rigid Brass Catcher from E&L Manufacturing?

I am considering getting one each for my M1 Carbine and M1 Garand. I understand that with the Garand, you must remove it each time you insert a new clip. I would like to hear from someone with first-hand experience with this product before I buy one or two.

I've seen them cause malfunctions on an HK91. Empty cases bouncing back into the chamber.

Thanks, TonyF.

They look like a nice idea, but I am particularly worried about it getting in the way of the Garand clip ejecting. I called the company and the guy said it wasn't a problem because there was a special slot for the clip to eject.
