M1 Carbine.

I'm having problems with one of my carbines with a lot of miss- fires due to what looks like a soft primer strike. Ran all the miss-fired ammo through another carbine and all worked. Took the bolt apart and it all seems in order except for the extractor retaining pin (man that it a little sucker) that was broken. Does anyone know what the dimension of the firing pin should be? I should add that this is a totally rebuilt carbine so I am somewhat stumped.

Is there a manufacturers' mark on the bolt? If not, someone may have substituted a (defective) commercial bolt, such as a Universal.
A service trained armorer should be able to diagnose; most gunsmiths don't have the gauges & tools necessary. I can give some referrals if you need them.
