Need help from Savage owners. Extractor question.

[JEStone629]

Hey everyone. I've used the search function to no avail.

Any-who, as I'm sure you've found out, the extractor on these rifles is a tension slip design with nothing more than a tiny spring and ball bearing. Does anyone know the spherical diameter of that ball bearing?

The reason I ask is because it popped out during a thorough cleaning and rolled across my back porch. Luckily I found it. I'd like to have one for a spare. If it comes down to it, I'll pop it back out and mic it. Before I do that, I thought I'd ask you guys.

Thanks in advance!

The factory size is .125". I usually replace with a .140" for better extraction.

Thanks guys! As much as I use Midway, I never thought about checking there.

I believe I'm going to keep a few of both sizes on hand.
