Abstract

A cartridge case catcher and associated methods. The cartridge case catcher is configured to catch cartridges ejected from an action of a firearm. The cartridge case catcher includes a mount for mounting to the firearm. The cartridge case catcher includes a receptacle having a case compartment sized for carrying cases ejected from the action. A mouth of the catcher provides access to the case compartment. A pivot connection connects the receptacle to the mount. The receptacle is movable with respect to the mount about the pivot connection between an operational orientation to receive cases ejected from the firearm action and an access orientation in which the receptacle permits access to the action of the firearm.
