I just got this gun (used) and unfortunately I can't get it to fire the .22lr barrel.

Here are 3 spent rounds which did not detonate on impact. The gunsmith told me the firing pin is either misaligned or the gun was poorly manufactured and/or assembled so the pin doesn't strike close enough to the edge of the cartridge.

I'm new to this stuff so I don't know better. Is he right? If so, how can I fix this?

The gunsmith successfully detonated 2 and it looks like it's been messy.

Does that look like a normal striking placement for the firing pin on the cartridge?

Thanks a lot in advance.
 
It looks like the firing pin is not striking enough of the rim and is more to the inside of the case rather than on the rim. I am unfamiliar with the M6 but is it possible that the firing pin has been installed upside down?

I am sure somebody on here can offer better advice.

Your advice is just *lawrence.
The firing pin is not hitting the edge of the case rim enough.

Check firing pin for correct placement.
If not, it needs to be altered or replaced.
