This is a bolt action I made with the others, but this one had a longer tube and the nib was woefully nonsticking out enough, I took it apart and sanded the end of the blank unfortunately it could have done with a bit more coming off, but the guy who wanted it to match his Rollerball finds it fine to write with so I don't need to take it apart again.

The first photo shows the nib as it was when I first made it and the other three shots after I had sanded the blank. I have measured the mechanism on 3 more of the kits and they are all different depths, which is a pain.

Thank you, I think I have now used the last one and need to make some more of these when the weather is warmer.
