I keep an SKS handy even with an AR about. The SKS I bought because I wanted one; the AR just sort of happened.

I use an old towel for my gun cleaning purposes, if I get further than a bore snake and a spraydown.

Dad used to use old aluminum food cans on the electric stove to melt his lead. Small quantities and a constant watch.

It should be simple to repair yourself if it is anything like my Sears 101.1something8something. You'll probably need a new firing pin, firing pin spring, and firing pin retaining screw that keeps the pin from falling out. You should be able to find these things for cheap from Numrich...
