Here's the deal: My AK47 spits empties out to a distance of up to 45 feet. This makes policing up the brass a royal PITA. Also, a bit uncomfortable to anyone on a range-station to my right. This is the one and only thing I do not like about this rifle. All home-built attempts have thus far failed to function properly - most have deflected the empty straight back in through the ejection port, causing hellacious stovepipe jams. I give up. I'd like to know if anyone has already solved this problem, and has a product on the market.

Specs: 7.62x39mm AK47; civilian model; "Maadi" stamped metal receiver; Bullpup retrofit kit.

Can anyone do me a solid and hook me up with a solution?

You might want to get a new recoil spring. A weak one might be causing it to sling brass into the next zip code.
