firing pin on 22/32

[cudamank]

Need some help on my 22/32. Its old, no finish and such, but I hope to bring her back to life. I pulled the firing pin out tonight. It doesn't retract back after firing. Should there be a spring? inside to do that? Also I believe the timing issue is due to the ?ratchet? on the back of the extractor. Can anyone recommend a good book or location for diagrams for these revolvers. The edges of the firing pin and housing are chewed up, could this be cleaned up with Emory cloth? thanks for the help
