Redneck "Match Saver"

[DoctorJJ]

Well, I bought a match saver shell holder for my shotgun. But when I went to install it, it wouldn't hold a shell. The gap was way too wide. I tried to squeeze it down and it broke in half. Anyway, I'm sitting here looking at this thing, thinking I can make one of these out of something. So, after looking around the shop, I ended up with this as a final product. Thoughts?

Any guesses to what I made it out of?

Appears to be rubber hose?

Nope. It's a hard plastic material.

 

[dennishoddy]

Lots of possibilities. Ok, I give up.

One of those clips to hold the legs to bottom of TV Table?

Looks like a microphone holder.

they look like they can be easily copied with 3/4 pex

I used 3/4 shark bite pex. Works perfect. She'll doesn't move under recoil like some have claimed happens with the factory job.

It's an AR15 grip. I have plenty of these laying around where I have swapped out to Hogue's or Ergo's.

Cut it plenty big at first. Then you can dremel it down to size. I almost cut mine too small.

I know you keep saying that Mike, but I don't see how that could happen unless you mounted it in completely the wrong place. Even if it slips back, it would completely fall out before it got far enough back for the bolt handle to hit it. What am I missing?

I think on the M2 the caddy rides higher. On my M1, it is mounted lower like yours.
