Need Help: broken 7.62 magazine

[smle addict]

Went to the range today with my DCRA No.4. It has been modified to accept an L39/L42 magazine. Worked flawlessly, until today. Started mis-feeding, and hard to load. I removed the magazine from the rifle, and the spacer that was welded to the interior of the magazine fell out.

What do I do? This is over my head. I know how to mig-weld only, on large steel sections. I also know how to sweat copper pipes. But I am absolutely AWFUL at fine welding work. The few times I've attempted body work on cars/jeeps, I've blown holes clean through the sheet metal, even when using the lightest settings on the welder. I have since given that up.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks to all ahead of time.
