Help with Broken Bolt Damaged Receiver M1 Carbine

[a1parrothead]

Hello again everyone,
Well I got a lot of help from you guys regarding identifying parts on my mostly Rock-Ola M1. But now... tragedy has befallen my meager existence!

Went and shot it today and on the last round the bolt broke in the right lug area ( I have read about this), but I think its much worse then that, my receiver is damaged on the left side.

The area on the left side of the receiver where the bolt notches into has a divot out of it on the underside. If you are looking straight down on it you cannot see it. But with the bolt and mag out you can see the damage.

I am sick to my stomach. Waited a long time to buy this and paid a pretty penny. Now what? I know I need a bolt, but am I screwed on my receiver?

Any and all help/advice is needed and appreciated. Where can I get a bolt? Can the receiver be salvaged and by who? At what cost?

Thanks, Jeff
