I had the same problem when I ordered the 22 rifle firing pin for by 22/410. The rifle firing pin that Numrich sent were beveled on the top and bottom that gave a final firing pin tip shape of: - . The rifle firing pin should be beveled on the sides to give a final firing pin tip shape of: |. Note, that the rifle firing pin is the same as the shotgun firing, except that the rifle firing pin is beveled on the sides to give the proper shape for a rim fired cartridge firing pin. Numrich sent me a replacement shotgun firing pin at no cost and I beveled the sides to make a rifle firing pin - works great.
As to the rifle firing pin spring, it is the same spring as the shotgun firing pin spring. They are interchangeable. Someone on this forum used a spring from a pen to make a new firing pin spring. The spring is very small and only 3-4 coils. The spring is used to ensure that the rifle firing pin is retracted out of the way to enable closing of the barrel.
Hope this helps.

No surprise, frankly. Numrich is infamous for charging major money to ship the wrong part. I have learned to avoid them Unless there is simply no other choice.
So far as the spring goes, it was suggested to me to use the spring from a Bic lighter. Wierd, but it worked just fine.
Any good machine shop should be able to make a new firing pin. Actually, if you have a drill press and can do basic soldering, you should be able to make your own.

Sorry for the late THANKS ALL!! for the knowledge, I think a bic lighter spring might be the most durable, I am going to try and find an old bic lighter somewhere in the garage and compare the spring with a new one, My thinking is they don't make anything like they used to, Paul
