    A friend of mine is eyeballing complete 9mm uppers from various builders and some of them are slick side. Not concerned about lack of forward assist, but he is a lefty and wondering if he won't be eating brass all day. Is there a bolt on type shell deflector that can easily be added?

    Thanks

    The deflector is to keepp crap out of your face. 9mm bolts do not have serrations for forward assist, so none needed.

    Check out 9mmar.com. They have the Rock river also. The defector and a short dust cover replce the normal dust cover. Really easy change.
    Good luck

    Thanks Gents.

    How does that RRA deflector attach?

    It fastens with the dust cover pin. You use the shorter 9mm dust cover and the deflector together. There is also a small spring keeping tension on the deflector. This combination just replaces the full size dust cover.

    I found a video on YouTube when I did it. I think I searched" 9mm shell deflector"

    Best of luck
