ABSTRACT:
A shell catcher for semi-automatic auto-loading shotguns which will catch the ejected shell if singly loaded and the last shell from the magazine if multiple loads are used. A mounting plate is attached to the trigger retaining pins on the shotgun receiver. A shell restraint blade is pivotally attached to the mounting plate and is urged to an operative position by a spring in which the blade projects slightly into the ejection port for catching the ferrule of an ejected shell. An inoperative position is defined in which the blade is retracted from the port and shells can be completely ejected. A locking arm senses when a shell is in the magazine causing the blade to be locked in the non-operative position and releases the blade when the magazine is empty. A pawl on the bolt handle is utilized to move the blade from the operative position to the inoperative position.
