Shell Deflector > for Winchester Gun Parts Super X-1 Shotgun - Nu-Line Guns, Inc.

 

Buy some Breakfree and shoot the gun wet. That will pretty much stop the failure to feed that many auto have.

 

So my question is has anyone made a homemade deflector??

A competent gunsmith in your area should be able to put a spot of weld in the barrel extension that will deflect the hulls down by your feet.

 

The direction the Super X throws the cases does not lend itself to the spot of weld.

The Winchester designed deflector does a much better job.

Where do they sell those?

 

Nu-line.
See my link above.

 

Can someone tell me how that SX-1 deflector works? As in where does this piece sit/fit, etc.? I ask because I need a deflector for my Browning Gold and can find nothing on how a welded nub would work for a Gold. Thanks for sharing! jcouch

 

The SX-1 deflector fits between the front of the receiver and the forearm wood, and reaches back over the ejection port. It is designed specifically for the SX-1, and is not a universal fit.

 

Thanks oregunner I'm gonna order one of these

 

As Mark said they're not a universal fit. That being said, I have fit two of them to other auto's. A model 51 Ithaca and a Mossberg, I don't remember what model.

 

Thanks for the info guys! Might someone be able to post a photo of one of these SX-1 deflectors installed? As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Much appreciated!

 

This link has a picture of one installed.

Mark, thanks for the link to the photo. Unfortunately, I am not "seeing it." It being"... the SX-1 deflector fits between the front of the receiver and the forearm wood..."

All I see is what appears to be a piece of metal sandwiched between the barrel and receiver from above the middle of the bolt/ejection port.

What am I missing here?

Find this piece in the above picture. It clips over the receiver and is held on by the forearm.

 

I get it now! Thanks Mark! Will order one to play with as I am shooting bunker with my Gold and some folks are less accepting of hulls bouncing around in front of them than others...

Does the Gold throw the shells out forward and to the side, or just to the side?

 

Deflectors rarely work as advertised. If I you know how a hull is ejected, you can understand why. The extractor hooks onto the rim and the bolt pulls the hull into the chamber. The base of the hull then hits the ejector which spins the hull out of the chamber. So any modification to that process through some type of deflector is problematic. It somehow had to redirect that spinning hull to a specific location. Not so hard as to hit the shooter next to you, not so soft as to fall back into the chamber. If you get it to work, it generally will require that you always use the same load.

 

I built a brass deflector out of a top/reciever scope mount for SX3 (modeled after M16 left hand brass deflectors I saw in the Army)
the third picture you can see the diffrence in the hull ejection - blue with deflector red without

 

The metal deflector pictured directly under the SX-1 is the way to go. I've used one for several years and have had not problems with it at all. I've also used the one pictured on the SX-1. It's purpose was to catch a single shell so you could just put it in your bag. The metal one does a fine job of deflecting empties away from the other shooters and allows you to shoot doubles.

The picture of the receiver has the deflector and the shell catcher on it. Look closely to see the deflector.

 

Mark, thanks! I see things very clearly now. Much appreciated. Will buy one soonest to play with. ~jcouch~

 

Baron V, interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing! I may try the piano wire type of deflector if I can work up the courage to "sacrifice" a barrel....
