Hi Alx, and Alanint, and all... you are correct in that the spring pushes back against the firing pin retainer when fully compressed and with an un-broken pin... I was over generalizing on that point, as I only meant to illustrate that the rear half of the pin stays back with out the ability to utilize any type of energy to go forward, (my bad!)...... as in, the part, of the now two piece pin, with the sear notch won't go forward, whether held back or slid back, as it has nothing to propel it?? (CORRECT) The back half has essentially become a notched tube... But, you are incorrect when you state the spring pushes ahead on the forward part of the broken pin. (WRONG, I was incorrect! it still has some preload) In essence, with a broken pin, it is fully extended, un-contained, (WRONG! has some tension) and pushes or hold the front part forward. (CORRECT) with a broken pin it has far less preload then with a good pin and cocked? ...Now, if we can see the same thing on what is posted above, (I NOW SEE YOUR POINTS, CAN YOU SEE MINE?)
