Yes, but I'd rather buy in bulk at a lower price.
I buy in bulk from:
Washers etc from microfasteners.com
Nickle rod from Texas Knifemakers
Brass rod from my local hardware store

I'm not finding the 1/16 sized washer? Brass - Micro Fasteners - https://www.microfasteners.com/home.php?cat=658
I pulled this from another forum. Do a search for these by product number (FWB0 that’s zero on the end).
In each metal, there is a wide one to use inside the scales, if you want that, and the little ones for outside. I use wide brass inside the scales on all mine. They also look nice stacked on the outside.
Brass
FWB0 100 #0 .064 1/8 .017 $ 4.20
FWBW0 100 #0 wide .064 3/16 .017 $ 4.90
Stainless steel
FWSS0 100 #0 Narrow Washer S/S I.D. .062xO.D..125x Thk .017 $ 2.30
FWS00 100 #0 $ 2.30

You were correct. 1/16 = 0.0625 inches for inner diameter.
We just aren’t used to seeing fractions of inches expressed in decimals like that.

This is what I got
Did I get the correct size? Wish they would have a more uniform way of labeling so that you can compare apples to apples on their website.
