It seems to me that using a slimline kit for cartridge pens would leave you with some unused parts does anyone make a component kit with just the parts you'd need for those pens?

Not that I know of, but I believe Wood-N-Whimsies sell the parts separately.

True. I make these with real bullets and put a Euro style top on them vice a slimline top. The Euro style is a bit wider and the pen looks better IMO.
You can buy all the parts seperately as stated above.

I don't know of any vendor that sells a stripped kit (no nib or centerband). Whenever I've priced the individual parts, they've come to more than the price of a whole kit. I just buy regular slimline or euro kits and toss the unused parts into a pile.

possible kit
I can get a kit with fancy slimline clip and cap, euro tubes, cross style 7mm transmission, cross style refill, no tip(nib) and no centerband. Cost would be about the same as a slimline kit.
Could probably also get a Euro kit without the tip(nib) and center band for a tad less than a standard Euro.
Is there enough interest to bother?

I use Smitty's 7mm transmission :biggrin: and an aftermarket clip. Then I get the brass tube in 10" lengths from wherever I end up finding it. I'm trying to get to the point of not using the slimline at all. My hidden clip hasn't worked out as of yet, so I'm using up some of my leftover finials to hold the clips in for now. Someday...
