Diameter of the detent ball under extractor in Savage model 12?

Does anyone have this info?

I use .125in diameter. It is a few thou larger than factory but fits OK and due to slightly larger diameter results in a more positive extraction.

Thank you very much. Mine has gone missing. I ordered some from McMaster Carr very reasonable and faster than the factory.
