Hey, just picked this gun up the other day and being a lefty, I'm interested in a bolt in brass deflector for the gun. I've read stories of hot brass going down people's shirts and them getting burns on their elbows, etc. I did some searching but I've come up blank. Anyone know of a good bolt on brass deflector for the 15-22?

I'm a righty so I've never had any problems with the brass ejecting from my 15-22. It's always throwing the brass a few feet to my right.

I shoot my 15-22 lefty and don't have an issue. I'd try it first before worrying about it.

 

In terms of a brass deflector have you seen this post:

No issues shooting a 15-22 or Ruger 1022 left handed here.

Well that's good news from fellow lefties. I'm going to shoot her this weekend and see how it goes. So far I haven't found a bolt on deflector and the one in that S&W forum thread isn't finished production yet. If I do need something I may have to make my own.

MOST I've seen shoot out at a 2-3 o clock angle

Shoot mine lefty ni issues

MOST I've seen shoot out at a 2-3 o clock angle

 

Exactly what Alec said, my wife is a lefty as well and she wears tank tops to the range and never had a problem with the 15-22 or the big brother .223.
