It's an intentional misuse, Ray. Comes from when I did an oral book report in middle school about the Kennedy assassination. I used suppository instead of depository and cracked everybody in class up. For some reason, the teacher didn't catch it, which made it all the more funny.

I found some stainless balls, BTW. Tried Franklin's gun shop down the street from my NAPA store. The gunsmith was a fellow wheeler and took pity on my plight. Gave me 4 detent balls for free. I'll measure them with a micrometer in the morning and post up the measurements in case anybody ever needs it...
