Burgs - Brass Retriever?
Burgs -
In a recent post, you mentioned a "brass picker-upper thingy" used at a range you frequent. If you can find any information about this piece of equipment (manufacturer name, or where to buy), I would appreciate it. I figured others might want to know also, that's why I asked via post instead of PM. Thanks, George |

Burgs - Brass Retriever?
I'm not Burgs, but I have a superb brass picker-upper thingy -- which I may have described to Burgs some months back. It is the Brass Wizard. Basically a broom handle with a basket of flexible metal wires on the end of it, it snaps up spent brass like a hungry chicken. Google "Brass Wizard cartridge case pickup tool". I got mine from a company in Chandler, AZ, but the maker also sells them directly.
Moderator, I believe this belongs in the ammunition section. I had a dickens of a time finding where you had put Plaidad's query, and I'll bet he will too. Cordially, Jack |

Burgs - Brass Retriever?
we tried one on our club ranges...
grass doesn't work very well at all, but they are okay on packed sand or soil. |

Thanks guys. Not working well on grass is a problem. We don't have paved ranges out here in the Ozarks. We're still trying to get most of the roads paved!

Burgs - Brass Retriever?
Hello. I've seen and used both types mentioned. For me, the brass wizard works best and it works on grass as well.
http://www.uniquetek.com/site/696296/product/T1310 Neither are "perfect' but I found the brass wizard the better of the two and costs less than the other. Best. |
