Only place I can shoot cheap ammo thru my SKS is my cousins farmer field, but I have to collect the brass after.

The brass gets ejected all over the place, and I have a hard time finding it. Is there any sort of "bag" or "cage" type thing that goes over the ejection port that would make the collection easier? I have access to 3d printers, if that's a possibility.

There's this thing called the brass wizard and it's a roller that picks up the brass really easily. Here is a video on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSX_s88SJDQ

This could work, but another good option would be to have a tarp off to your right where the casings are getting ejected.

If it's Bubbad with a pic rail near the ejector port then you can get this https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B084YZGLFD?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Alternatively you can try to ghetto mount it
