ICS AK74M cocking handle/bolt fix

Hey all,

During a small skirmish a few days ago my AK took a bit of a tumble (who knew there was a frozen pond under all that snow?) and the cocking handle part of the 'bolt' snapped off. It's still usable, fortunately, but there's now a hole that could let grit and dirt into the AK guts, and makes it slightly annoying to adjust the hopup. I'd like to know if a replacement part exists, or if there's a simple way of repairing such a high stress part. Contact cement and epoxy have thus far failed, and I doubt the body would survive an attempt at welding.

I've checked out WGC, milsim supply, airsoft parts and a couple other places but haven't seen replacements for sale. I don't have a manual and couldn't find one online, so I don't even know the part number. So I turn now to the forum - can it be easily remedied, or am I pooched?

Thanks,
/kev
