The ball and spring are staked into the breech block. They aren't removable. The only thing you can do with them is to oil them and...

IIRC the 'napkin' test is connected to the breech seal, but I'm sure it will be OK after AoA completes their service. In your case it...

I picked up this beautiful, vintage HW35E (with the original sights!) and while dialing it in the other day, I ran across something that...

...well OK then, these are all RHS, but here's three instead of just a pair: is three permitted?...:) HW55T(F), 124 JM T, Venom

UGH! ANOTHER one with the lefty bias 🥱 🤷‍♂️😩
