I'm looking for the dimensions for the 10/22 Extractor Plunger.
I'm too cheap and unwilling to pay $6 a piece and shipping for a tiny little pin that I can make at home in 5 minutes and would greatly appreciate if someone could take the measurements for me.

It's a small stepped pin with 2 diameters and a length for each, and also, could I also get the depth and diameter of the hole it goes into to verify mine is the same?

I'm willing to be I'm not the only one who keeps spares of small parts like these.

I'm building one from scratch, will probably loose it boating, but before I do I'd like to finish it first.
 
I was not wanting to wait for a package as some of the parts I ordered through the USPS (not just during Christmas) have taken up to 5 weeks to get here when it should have only been 3 or 4 days.
I have 4 stripped bolts I'm putting together and am duplicating the small parts out of stock I have on hand.
The only bolt blueprints I could get did not have that one hole depth or diameter dimension, just the location/placement of the hole.
I always order extra drill rod and flat stock when I do a custom project and keep it around for general fabrication needs, but have on many occasions just used a bit of dull drill rod.
Actually, I just used a couple pieces sliced off of some drill rod stock I had on hand for the pins that keep the 10/22 trigger assembly connected to the receiver rather than order and pay for them as well as pay the shipping.
I also replaced the magazine release pin and the pin holding that floppy extractor with slightly larger bit drill rod because both pins were so sloppy loose they kept falling out like as if they were spring loaded to eject every time I picked it up and they were not flat level.
I did not have any drill rod stock close to that size and just happened to have a 6" long dull drill bit that fit the holes just right.
Now they are just a little snug going in, and so are the trigger assembly to receiver assembly pins so no scotch tape needed.
 
A little dab of fingernail polish will eliminate the need for scotch tape on those trigger/receiver pins and won't rub off like tape does in a nicely bedded stock.
