There are clip-on "brunton bump" shell deflectors available.

Find one of the old A1 type brass deflectors that used to snap in place on the carry handle. Gunbroker, Ebay, etc...hard to find.
Wedge a stripper clip between the carry handle and rear edge of the ejection port opening. Brass strikes the stripper clip and is deflected forward. Insert a couple of quarters inside the buffer tube, behind the buffer spring. May change the ejection timing to slightly sooner and cause the brass to be thrown clear earlier, missing the face. Replace upper with one that has a brass deflector. Replace upper with Stag Arm lefty kit. Learn to shoot right handed

Do you have the 'O' ring under your extractor, if so remove it, and if you don't have one install one.
That could change the direction of your ejected shells.

I'm lefthanded and have upper receiver bump but still get hit on right shoulder from time to time with my 16" - cases land at 4:00. M193 velocities land about 2:00.

we tried the quarter trick, tried a carbine buffer, h buffer, and ST T2 buffer...no change.

D-fender or #60 O ring around the extractor spring will cause the spent case to stay on the extractor a touch longer, and my be just enough to change the ejection path as stated above.
A #60 O ring is about a dime at any hardware store, so don't rule it out. |

Why does your left handed friend have an upper without the deflector? This is why the deflector exists.
What is the gas system/barrel configuration? http://www.brownells.com/shooting-accessories/range-gear/shell-catchers-deflectors/a3-brass-deflector-sku100001134-18554-42068.aspx?cm_mmc=cse-_-Itwine-_-shopping-_-Brass%20Deflector&gdftrk=gdfV21820_a_7c187_a_7c1021_a_7c100001134_d_100001133_d_10103 There used to be a plastic deflector that had a ball bearing detent at the top that snapped into the hole on the charging handle, that was used with A1 uppers. Can't find them for sale online anywhere with a quick search. |

See original post.
It's a 16" midlength. Why he has it is beside the point haha. I appreciate the suggestions I will try the O ring. |

UPDATE
H buffer and spikes h2 buffer did nothing (same with quarters in the tube) but we took the Oring off and now with BRASS case full power ammo its ejecting them straight out and not into my friends face! With tula crap it was hitting him right in the mouth still but he mainly shoots brass anyways (now I shoot a lot of steel haha). Thanks guys! |
