Very useful product
Very well made item. I installed mine on a flattop model very easily. I did have to do some fitting between the scope mounts but that was easy enough to do. Definitely makes keeping track of your brass a whole lot easier. Keeps the guys on the benches to your right happier also.
Military tested and approved!
Being a small arms instructor for the military, I've been looking for a product like this for years. It works everytime with no jams of malfunctions. I no longer have shooters dancing around due to brass burns making my job that much safer!
A3 deflector mounted on A2 rifle
I mounted the unit under my A2 handle on the picatinny rail and it dropped right in. My unit has the two end prongs bent in for a shorter top mount optics - which I don't have but planned ahead :). The bent metal locked the unit in perfectly under my handle. After more than a case of ammo it is perfect and is a permanent part of my rifle now. Drops all brass about 18 inches to my right at 2 o'clock. No brass hitting other shooters and no brass hitting barriers and then hitting me.
EOTECH friendly
Works on Colt LE6920 with EOTECH 512 with backup sights, but requires some modifications. It was necessary to cut out three of the fingers to allow the red dot to seat into the rail. It is now secured by the sight. Simple design that will work if you take your time to figure out what will work for your sight placement. Only four star because of the need to cut out some fingers, that information not present in the instructions. Works well just like the sister product.
Works
Will not work with AimPoint QRP mount, but then it's not listed as fitting. With a little (VERY little) skill it will fit a "flat top" (just bend the tabs to match flat top version's picture) and maybe an additional one (depending on your handle's underside). Finish is painted (or maybe powder coat) and does come off when you bend the tabs. It's staying on my RRA EO2 "full time".
Shot twice, jammed twice
Easy enough to install but the spent case bounced back into the chamber area both times I fired , causing a jam. I'm the exception to the other guys that have had no problems with the deflector. I will be returning it for a refund.
Bounces brass back into ejection port
Kept bouncing brass back into ejection port wedging it on top of the next round.
Does not fit
It does not fit under my riser for my red dot sight. Does not fit flush with the top rail.
