Well as far as I know, the pre-war models used a hammer/firing pin system. Even the M1 had a hammer; the only model with a fixed firing pin machined into the bolt was the M1A1.

Also, I don't believe the Thompsons had floating firing pins, they were held back by springs. But these are civilian models so what I say probably doesn't really apply.
