I hate to make this my first post but I am running out of options.
So, here's the story. I traded a Blank Fire PPSH-41 and got a K-43 in return. I was excited. This is my holy grail gun and I have been itching for one to use in reenactments. I order the shooter kit (it did not have one installed) and when it came in I went about installing it. All the internal parts look great. Until this.

It has 3 cracks. They do NOT go all the way through but they are bad enough. Either way it's obvious the owner before me shot this thing hot. I was devastated. I emailed Rob from Apfeltor (Hope I spelled that right. Lol) and it kicked me an email back with him saying his computer will be offline for a few days and he will be unable to read emails. I then tried gunbroker. Found the part I needed. Registered. Got banned for being a "Suspicious Account" and they are demanding a driver's license and a utility bill from me. Auction for the part ends tomorrow. =/
So. Help. Please. What are my options. What can I do. Does someone have an extra part they want to sell me? I want this baby to LIVE!
Thank you all.
