In a first embodiment, the center mounted embodiment is preferred. The presented device includes a mounting clamp assembly, mounting rod and pivoting deflector. The deflector can be pivoted to permit the ejection pattern desired by the rifleman. In a second embodiment, the side mounted assembly, the mounting clamp assembly is attached to the right hand side rail of the forearm and barrel assembly. In the third embodiment, rear mounted assembly, the clamp mounting assembly is installed at the rear of the upper receiver rail. In a fourth embodiment, forward mounted assembly, the mounting clamp assembly is mounted on the forearm upper accessory mounting rail. All embodiments described herein apply to a left-handed version of the rifle.
