Is this the Francotte you had mentioned in another post? Sometimes there will be erosion of the area around the firing pin, it needs to be drilled out and ‘bushed’
That’s a common requirement in these rifles.

You have not stated what exactly is the problem with the firing pin ? Are the primers getting pierced or is the primer strike very light , and cartridge not firing ?

Primer strike very light and cartridge not firing.

Have your regular gunsmith check out the breech block and firing pin area. The action comes apart as a single block and the ONE retaining pin on side of action is a split pin. It needs to be driven out.



Then show this video to him and see if he can do this job. The spring may have to then be replaced. Don’t replace spring with a stronger spring IF the pin is not being BUSHED

Strip the action completely and see if there is anything stopping the firing pin from full clean travel. Check the spring for tension. It should be long enough to prevent you from just starting the thread on the retainer. You should have to push it in a little to start the thread. See if the firing pin actually pokes out far enough. Should be about 1.5mm.
