Question Help With Fixing AK Magazine Part (NorCal/Bay Area Shops?)

Hey there,

This part of my cerakote'd Polish AK magazine broke off randomly one day at the range.
I was told this needed to be welded back on? Anyone know of any local gun shops or places here in the Bay Area or NorCal that can fix this?

Appreciate any help!

That needs to be spot welded.
In order to do that, the finish needs to be stripped down to raw steel.
Then the part can be spot welded back to the magazine body.
Then the whole magazine can be refinished.
You will likely spend 3x or more the cost of that magazine in getting that magazine back to functional and then whatever the cerakote work costing on top of that.
The less expensive option is to throw that magazine away and get another one and have it cerakoted.
