i took a look at my bolt and noticed that the firing pin was sticking out of the face. i pulled it appart and i noticed that there was about an inch missing from the firing pin and the rest of it i had to tap out. now what is a 2 piece firing pin compared to what looks like a one piease i pulled out (was an imbel kit orginal).

I have no experience with the 2 piece firing pin in the FAL. Mine has a south african bolt with a 1 piece. But I did have a 2 piece break in a FN49 the back piece broke and seized the rifle it wedged between the bolt and the hammer.

Yikes, don't know. I have a one piece deal. You may want to try FALFiles.com. Great bunch of guys over there with a wealth of info on all things FAL. They will steer you in the right direction.

A two piece firing pin is one where they break it ahead of time.

The two piece firing pins were made for inch pattern bolts. IMBEL is metric pattern. If your pin were a twp piece, there would be no question that it was supposed to be.

Here are a couple of sources for a new firing pin.

www.dansammo.com Dan doesn't have them listed on his site. Send him an email and ask if he has any. I'll bet that he does.
