    Modified Traditional Roller Ball

    I didn't want to pay for a 6" blank when 5" are a lot cheaper and more common. I modified the pen by making the large tube shorter so that the pen was just under 5". I turned the pen to be more chunky. The only problem was that the spring was too long so I cut it in half Glen
