ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a new rifle receiver body for an M-16 rifle, incorporating a deflector portion adapted to divert spent cartridge cases away from the person of the user, away from the face and neck of a left-handed shooter for example. While particularly useful for the protection of a left-handed shooter, it in no way affects the use of the gun and can be used for right-handed users in the usual way. The deflector is a boss located at the rear of the ejection port, jutting out from the right side of the rifle body.
