Looks like an old TC tang sight. Contact TC or Cain's Outdoors. What you want is the detent ball.

Go to a bicycle shop and see if they have any miniature ball bearings that size.
I many still have a few because they are the same size as the ball check valves in
the hydraulic lifters of a 1948 Packard engine I helped to rebuild a few years ago.

McMaster and Carr might also be a source for just the ball. McFadden Dale hardware too. Google them for the site.
