what ralf said first off, must make sure the firing pin is there and the "nose" (tip) not broken, also make sure the head space is correct and the cylinder not too far forward, wear on the upper crane leg OR maybe the cylinder was replaced, and NOT fitted properly..........we use 22 shells that the bullet is pulled and the powder removed to "test fire"......DO NOT point it at any one or anything, the "primer" powder( fulminate) can spark, and burn you!!!!
also the firing pin may be "stuck" (old oil, hardened in place) flush the hole, Kroil or such, and use something like a round, flat punch and with the hammer cocked back, on an "empty gun" of course, "push" the pin in and out ( forward) make sure the spring works, and it moves freely.......
