Just purchased a 1100 16 gauge. Looking for a hull catcher so I can shoot without hitting my fellow trap shooters with my empties. |

there actually have been at least 4 over the yrs .... most common is the flat clip on - 12ga should work . There used to be a pickle that replaced the bolt handle - rare and cool but hard to find . There's a tape on piece with a long wire that wraps around the receiver window - needs tuning but I use one on my 48 . You can put a stud in the barrel extension that knocks shells down to the ground . There's an L shaped wire that goes into holes drilled into the barrel extension that works great ... OR , the all time easiest (drum roll ) - take the rubber seal off your mag tube and your gun won't be able to shoot the empty out - manually cycle the action - easy peasy . (you can try the rubber band around the receiver and in front of the closed bolt , sometimes works , probably depends on the band) |

Thanks for the suggested solutions. Hopefully I can make one of these work. |

I have a 12ga clip-on from T&S on my 16ga 1100, works just fine. |

I ordered one from T&S that came today. It looks like it will work. Thanks |

I have read of people using a rare earth magnet on the side of a steel receiver to catch hulls. This obviously won't work on hulls with real brass instead of brass played steel. Has anyone tried it?

Yes, and it did NOT work for me, and I was really hoping it would

I tried the magnets also. I first used just one and moved it in several positions to catch the hull. It did not work. I tried two magnets and it still did not work. I was using my sweet 16 during this exercise. That gentleman that showed his video of the magnets working was fortunate. I bought the same magnets he was using. |
