    Extractor ball


    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.

    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!"

    PM me your address and I can send you a few. They work great. And BTW: And you would improve your ejection as well with one of these replacing the .125 bearing Savage uses. I also installed the "newer" ejector pin that Savage now uses. And my rifle tosses the empties clear of the action. Where before, it was rather lackluster.

    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.
