Being a left handed shooter has it's disadvantages. Especially if you're shooting a DPMS Sportical/slick-side upper. At least one in fifty rounds would find its way into the collar of my shirt and leave a 2nd degree burn on my neck before I could dig it out. Something had to be done. I took a chunk of aluminum and built custom brass deflector, coated it black, and fastened it directly to the upper. It works flawlessly, throwing the brass out at the 4 o'clock position instead of the 6 o'clock position. Brass burns, be gone! Just thought I'd share.

Heck yeah! Thats why I never bought a sportical, because I said "No, I know what hot brass feels like" But I like what you've done to solve your problem.

Good job. I've been thinking about adding one to my slick side receiver just in case I need to shoot it as a lefty. It's a 3 gun rifle, so that is a possibility during a match.
