I have a Mossberg 5500 and I broke it out the other day to put some rounds down range and well to my surprise it did not fire ANY rounds. I tried replacing the firing pin because it was not hitting the primer at all but it did not fix the problem. I hear a click the hammer is dropping but firing pin looks like it is not going far enough to push it into the round. Could it be I go the wrong firing pin from Numrich? any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Thanks
Sincerely
