Most MCK accessories cost money. There is one big one that might actually put a few dollars back in your pocket.
Here’s what you need to know.
What It Is?
It’s the CAA MCK brass catcher, which is made for easy compatibility with select CAA micro conversion kits.
These brass catchers are made with durable components and are designed for durability and longevity. They mount easily to micro conversion kits with which they’re compatible and feature a wide opening that covers the ejection port of the MCK.
They make it a snap to catch your spent brass at any public ranges you visit, and can save you quite a lot of brass at ranges that have a “once it touches the ground, it’s ours” policy.
At those ranges, you need a brass catcher if you want to keep your current brass. The other thing to keep in mind is that a brass catcher will keep your brass from rolling in front of the firing line.
Because no matter what range you shoot at, once that happens, the brass belongs to the ages. Or at least the brass collectors that ranges use during downtime.
Anyway, take a look at the MCK brass catcher over at MCS Gearup. You will see that it costs somewhere around $40.
This being the case, how can an argument be made that it saves rather than costs money?
Easily. It all has to do with reloading.
Why It Saves Money
In case you didn’t notice, the price of ammo has gone through the roof. And, not only has the price increased across the board, but scarcity has come down like a hammer, too. There are still shops wrestling with shortages around the country.
On top of that, the single cartridge facing the most demand is 9mm. That’s a cartridge you are likely intimately familiar with if you shoot a handgun you’ve converted with an MCK.
So the price of 9mm is not what it used to be just a few short years ago.
There are ways to offset the high price of ammo. One is to buy in bulk. Another is to start reloading.
See, if you can keep your old brass, that’s a considerable portion of the cost of loaded ammo, right there. All you need are bullets (another big cost), the powder and the primers, which if you buy in bulk, can be gotten fairly economically.
Since 9mm cartridges are loaded to such low pressures, they can usually be reloaded a few more times than rifle cartridges can be. Depending on the condition of your brass, you may be able to reload it anywhere from 5 to 20 times.
This isn’t some big rifle cartridge that will start to split or bulge after being fired once. That might not make it a breakeven proposition for you.
But with the price of ammo going the way it is, being able to reload your 9mm brass a few times before you have to discard it can absolutely make an impact on your bottom line on range expenses.
So get yourself an MCK brass catcher, learn how to reload, and get to it. And maybe start shooting at less expensive ranges or making your own targets.
