Replacements for some of the click stop balls and springs of 3rd party lenses from a bit of an un-expected source:

The safety detent ball from the Crosman 13/22-XX air guns are a direct fit.

Crosman part # 105-039 (Ball, steel, .093" dia.)

The safety compression spring is a good fit in diameter, but will need to be cut down a bit for the short clearances on a lens.

Crosman part # 1322-017 (Spring, cmprsn).

The above experience has found me now doing aperture ring removals/installations over a medium size tea towel Wink

You can also use magnets in the same way to get micro-meteorites accumulated in your rain gutters.

Awesome! Thanks. Passing magnets through forest dirt picks up all sorts of unknown stuff...
