    M1917 firing pin dimensions

    Took my new (to me) Eddystone M1917 to the range for the first time. Chambered a round and pulled the trigger - heard the hammer go forward and click, but did not impact the primer. I am planning on dissembling the bolt. Either there is a lot of cosmolineicon in the bolt (which is possible as the rifle was caked in it) or the firing pin is broken .Can some provide the dimensions of the pin so I can rule in or out a firing pin issue? Thanks.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
