Default Solid Plunger Firing Pins

I am trying to see if early solid plungers had springs, my guns up to 50000 do not above that they do, Austin has noticed the same with his guns. I tried to put a spring in a 36000 gun not enough room even with just one coil of spring the firing pin would not contact the primer in the shell. I wonder if the later pins are longer? I am checking my guns maybe some other hammer gun guys can too! see my post on Springs for lifters.
