As I was removing my extractor to headspace my new barrel I shot the ball across the room. Just my freakin luck lately. Anyway, where in the world can I find one of these things to purchas?

Try a hobby shop or your local auto parts or repair to see if they have any bearings.
If you can't find one, let me know and I will mail you two.
Make sure the ball bearing replacement is .140" diameter. Your extractor will work better with the larger bearing.
I have found a good selection of the proper size ball bearings at my local bicycle shop. Minimum order from a machine supply is many more guns than my wife would approve.

I checked a couple of places after work today. No luck finding anything that was small enough.
I think GunShack also sells an extractor kit with the ball bearing, might check them out if you have to order one.
The original balls are .125"
.140" balls (9/64") work better.
Fastenal used to carry the 9/64" balls, but when I looked today, I only found a box of 120,000. I think that is more than you might want.
Grainger has a box of 100. You could buy that and then generate lots of good will by giving most of them away.
For some reason, apparently 9/64" is popular with bicycle bearings. I'd try that route that an earlier poster suggested.
Suggestion in hindsight. Work on teeny weeny parts inside a large clear plastic bag to contain anything that goes "sproinggg!"
Might want to look at these guys http://www.vxb.com/ just about any size bearing balls you could need.

To Snipe, Got mine today - Thanks a bunch I don't think I,ll ever find that one rolling around on my garage floor.,
Not to thread jack here, but would either of you guys be willing to shoot a few in the mail to me as well. I will absolutely cover your postage and the cost of the bearing plus whatever else you require. Please PM me if you're willing.
