Savage Extractor...lost the ball

[birdiemc]

I shot the ball across the shop today when trying to put the bolt back together after setting my headspace. Brownells has them for $5 so I'm gonna order one, but before I do, I figured I would check to see if there's any nifty upgraded extractor I should consider while I'm at it. I stole the ball from another savage bolt I have laying around and it extracts just fine, just wondering what folks recommend.

I tried the oversized ball. It added a lot of resistance when closing the bolt. I switched back to the original.

I have some, I'd be glad to mail ya a couple. I lost one a while back and I could order one or order like 50 for a few bucks more....... Imagine that. PM me your address and I'll send you a couple.

Bought a bag of 25 .140s from Amazon a few years back...the numbers have dwindled down with various builds & a couple of "launches"! Usually I disassemble in a clear gallon zip lock...always works....but go without when in a hurry and see ya!!!
Last summer when I moved my man cave from one side of the garage to the other the clean up on the corners by the wall revealed 2 live primers, 1 extractor ball and a coveted ejector spring!
