Crap! While cleaning the bolt of my .223 Savage 12FV, I inadvertently caused the extractor (part #12L) to come off and while I still have that part and the extractor spring (part #12M) the 1/8" steel ball (part #12N) is history!
Is this something I have to get directly from Savage????

If you have a half decent hardware store locally they may have the .125s. Better yet replace the .125" with a .140" (9/64").
If stang can't help I have about a dozen or so 125s. I don't have any of the .140s at the moment.

When you put it back together do it inside a large zip-lock baggie,don't ask me why I know to do this.
I've got a bunch of the .014 bearings. PM me with your address and I send you a couple.Quote:

The .140" is a closer fit in the bore in the bolthead and the extractor detent. Many times with the smaller .125" the extractor doesn't always return to it's "home" position and fully engage the extractor groove in the case.Quote:
