Disassembled the bolt on an X95 and wouldn’t you know it a pin went into hyperspace. It’s the extractor pivot pin - seems the space age polymer cone they call an extractor spring has quite a bit of power behind it.
So, I figured, no problem, surely it’s the same pin as in an AR-15 bolt. NOPE. It’s smaller than the 3/32” but larger than 1/16. I guess it’s metric, but the closest thing I can find is a #43 wire gauge drill bit, but even it’s a little loose. Maybe 11 AWG, but where the heck am I going to find 11 AWG steel?
You would think someone would sell a lost parts (pins and springs) kit, but the closest thing i can find is a full bolt rebuild kit for $50.

Any suggestions?
