Brass Goat Brass Catcher

[VASCAR2]

Here is a picture with the AR-15 sitting on a table with the grip resting on the table and the spent mag box still has clearance and is not touching the table. Notice there is a rib to depress to release the spent brass box.



So far I like the Brass Goat better than my Caldwell brass catcher/bag. The Brass Goat will supposedly hold about 30 spent 5.56 brass. I think the Brass Goat could easily hold twenty 6.5 Grendel brass. The brass in the removable box does make more noise than the brass in the Caldwell bag. As easy as it is to remove the spent brass box I don’t see the noise being a problem.

Time will tell how durable the plastic/polymer mag well adapter will be in extreme cold or hot. I like how easy it will be to use on different AR-15’s. Once you put the Brass Goat on and off a couple of times it seems to be easy to use.

I also tried the Brass Goat on my 12” 6.5 Grendel pistol which has an E O Tech 512. The mag well mount fits this pistol but the mount touches the body of the E O Tech. There isn’t enough pressure to affect the zero of the E O Tech and shouldn’t affect the reliability of the AR-15.

I didn’t fire but a few rounds through my 16” AR-15 with the Brass Goat attached but both the AR-15 and Brass Goat functioned 100%.

In the picture below you can see the rib which is pressed to remove the spent brass box.



Here is a link to the Brass Goat web site. I have no affiliation with this company. I think the Brass Goat is pretty decent and was surprised I’d never heard about it. I have no idea how long it has been on the market.
