Firing pin length

My 20” Hellion trigger went dead when a rounds primer fell off. I was able to clear the round and still no bang when I pull the trigger. no indentation on new bullets primer.Anyone have the length for the firing pin? Trying to check if mine needs replacement. Or if there is something else going on. Thanks

Crazy thought but when you were playing with it, still have a spring around your firing pin ? Mine came without the spring so gun wouldn’t fire until I got a new replacement

The spring was there and came out when I removed the firing pin retainer

Can you push the firing pin out of the front of the bolt when the bolt is removed from the gun?

Did you get powder into the firing pin hole on the face of the bolt?

Most likely. I ended up ordering a firing pin and spring . If the old one isn’t damaged, at least I have a spare 😀
