Bad firing pin

lboos · 03-12-2009, 02:37 PM

I have a 1936 S/42 with matching # except mags, The gun only fires about two times and hangs up, i put another firing pin in it from an older luger which is longer then the org. firing pin and it shoots just fine. My question is will this longer firing pin damage the gun? even though it shoot's great now.
I am putting the org. firing pin up as it is marked [01] as the rest of the gun is and i would like to have it repaired one day. Any advice, comments?
