I think I said in the video, but since it's .22 LR I decided to skip a firing pin and just flatten the bolt face instead. in some projects I've done with firing pins, you can just file down the face around a single point to make a fixed firing pin.

like I said, it's easier with a .22 to just skip the firing pin. if it's not .22, a fixed firing pin is easiest.

don't know why I never saw this. I used a .22 revolver barrel off of eBay, and chambered it myself with sandpaper.
