I worry that I'd end up re-sizing the whole tube with the ball bearing idea.
Then where do I get an oversize pump piston assembly?  :<)

 How do they get it out, or do they have the simplicity of the trumpet
part
 being a thru-tube?
 The Benjamin tube is only open at one end, though if you had all the
 special tools you could take the valve apart.  Quite a mess to get
apart
 and together without the correct tools (read: single purpose - not
 available at Sears.)  Then you could drive the ball bearing back out
that
 way - through the small air inlet hole in the valve body.
 I like your idea.  I'd hard solder a rod to the proper size ball
bearing.
 There might be a problem getting it started as the tube tends to narrow
 slightly at the barrel end.  It's worth a try.
