Told a member of another forum I'm on that I'd post this over here since there are some AR shooters on the board that may be interested.
I'm a hunter more than a shooter. I like my ar at the range, and am starting to use it for hunting. The biggest problem that I have with the AR (probably any semi auto, this is the only one I own) is the way it throws brass. While I have one of the cheap mesh bag brass catchers, it isn't exactly ideal for hunting. The size and weight just gets in the way, and doesn't attach that well to begin with. As such I've just been loosing brass when I hunt.
A member of 68forums has designed a new brass catcher for the AR platform. Personally I like the concept and would love to have one for sitting in the stand. I would list the details, but I think the links below will do a better job of it than me.

The guy is trying to raise funds to have forms made and start injection molding the hard parts. To this end he has started a Rocket Hub crowdfund project to raise funds. The price of one unit is on par with that of the hand made product. I have been assured that the project is going forward even if the project goal is not met, guessing they would be hand formed instead though.
If might be interested helping make this happen, and in getting one of these bags, please follow the link below. If you might happen to know of other people/boards that would be interested please share the link.
