Ball bearing 870 safety, where to buy one?

[geologist]

I need a small ball bearing for the safety on my 870 clone.

I cannot find a place in the lower mainland that sells ball bearings. Not Princess Auto, Lordco, CT, Home Depot, Rona etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you try SKF Bearings ... 950 Powell St, Vancouver ?

I have used various sized steel shot to replace, usually dropped, detent balls. Dab of grease and good as new

This! I lost one while swapping out safety. Works great with the #3 shot.

Where did you get your replacement safety if you don't mind me asking. I have an older 870 that was switched to left hand safety at some point. Would like to switch it back.

Thanks,
