    What's a "brass deflector?"

      You could also go with a modular upper where you can change out the shell deflector, like the MUR from Vltor.

          I would be curious if anyone has tried putting a piece of gaffer's or electrical tape or maybe brushed on some plati-dip over the pad of the deflector. Any risk of the adhesive actually doing damage to the upper's finish?
          Sorry, no safe queens in our safe...everything gets shot. You think a golden shell deflector is a problem, check out an FA FAL upper after a few shots.

          If you're shooting "cheap steel cased ammo" sounds like the gun is more of a safe slut than safe queen.

          Gaffer's' or Gorilla tape will probably work but will look mostly ghey.

            You are worried about dinging the thing that is supposed to get dinged? Therapy is what you seek.

              Cut and glue a small piece of carpet to it. But WHATEVER you do don't glue the carpet side to the gun as carpet does irreparable damage to ARs on contact.

                Add some felt and you will be fine. It will save the case mouths too

                  this is what you are seeking

                  A Comprehensive Airsoft Guide: Beginner/ Entry Level.: Looking around the site, I've seen A LOT of instructables. "Airsoft: surviving the war. Airsoft Guide. A Guide to airsoft". Some of them are good, and some of them look like they're thrown together in a couple of minutes. So, my goal is to combine a…
                  Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

                  Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

                  Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

                  Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

                    I coat mine in Tiffany diamonds. Never a scratch.

                    As others have stated, steel cased ammo and safe queen belong in the same sentence as Ferrari and HanKook tires.

                      Just hold your finger over the deflector when you shoot, that’ll keep it clean.

                          So OP, were you just trolling us all of this time? You planted the seed and let us run with it. Nice work!

                            I figured out your problem! You are using a brass deflector to deflect steel ammo case.

                            You need an AK!
