Just a little tip when assembling the Lock and Load pen, don't be tempted like I was to take the nib end off when assembling the pen :nonono: as you're likely to break the brass threaded end the nib screws on to. thinking that by taking the nib end off I'd be preventing damage to it.
And another issue I had with this pen was there was still some swarf left in the top part of the pen that prevents the Lock and Load slide from moving up and down and I didn't notice this until I had assembled the pen and then had to take a needle file and try to remove the swarf and metal burr. I managed it in the end but it was rather annoying. Sorry Dan, but there is a quality control issue here. Otherwise it's a great looking pen.
