See if the refill's ball point will even fit in the hole in the nib. Sometimes there is excess plating that prevents the point from getting through.

The Jr Gent 1 is a capped rollerball pen. The refill should be out of the nib end all the time. Are we talking about the same pen? Perhaps you could post a picture.

That is the JG1. The tip should be out all the time, you don't turn the end cap to get it to come out. If it is not out, I can think of two reasons. First try to insert the refill from the outside of the nib end. f it will not go through, than the plating may be too thick. You can remedy this by reaming it out with a slightly larger drill bit. If it does go through, check the length of the barrel, it may be too long (the tube shipped with the kit was the wrong size). You can disassemble the pen and trim to the correct size.
The refill is always extended....you might have missed putting the cap refill spring in when you assembled. Easy fix....If you pop me your email, I'll email intructions to you ... or you can find them under the Apprentice Jr. Gent at the CSUSA site.

The spring goes in the tube, not on the refill like others. This bout drove me up a wall till I looked at the instructions.
