Help! Need 870 safety ball bearing diameter

[geologist]

I lost the small ball bearing that holds the Remington 870 safety.

Can anyone tell me the diameter of this little bastar*?

9/64" should do it.

Not all safety detents are ball bearings. Some are plungers.

It's a ball bearing on the old style safeties. The plunger is on the J-lock.

X2. The one in my gun measures .140" which is 9/64".

It's not lost, it's somewhere on the floor of my home office and I can't see it!

You need a magnet on a string!

Laugh. I called up Mossberg when I lost my "safety detent"/ball bearing and asked them what is the size. Standard 1/8" they say. Called my local bearing guys who gave me a SS one for free. I like dealing with nice people.

If you lost your bearings, how will you find your way home? Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
