It takes intense lighting from several angles and you have to force your camera to over-expose. But, these are much better. A darker background will get your camera to open-up a little more. Otherwise, you just have to take the gun outside in the sunlight.
The firing pin does sound like a problem. It should fit flush.
Those parts can be replaced fairly easily, if you decide to shoot it.
I'm not an expert, but I don't think the finish is original and it has a "CAI" import mark etched under the barrel.
