Texas mac doesn't fire

[jck1313]

I have a Texas mac closed bolt 45 with the garand safety if I push the button behind the firing block and nothing comes out the front does that tell me there is not a firing pin in it ??

The firing pin prob has a spring to hold it rearward (an AR does not). It may require more than pushing it forward bc it may be shorter than the length of the distance between the read and the front of the “block” and the inertia from the hammer striking it carries it beyond the bolt face

I don’t know this but am pointing that it could be the case.

I’ll leave others to comment

I case anyone cares to know the answer to my question is the tip of the firing pin is broken the button on the back of the block is a 1pc firing pin so it should pop out the front when you push it
