Virage Pen Kit

[Whaler]

My kits came today so I'll turn one or two tomorrow.
Initially it looks like the finished pen is going to be about the same size as a Sierra, the tube is the same.
Here is a pic with a Sierra EB.

Very cool.

Thanks for the comparison. I have been wondering howsimilar it was to the sierra.

It looks like maybe the nib end is partially assembled? The instructions talked about pressing a short tube into the nib and pressing a coupler into that. Is that actually necessary?

Any chance of a measurement on the bushings? It looks really similar to the Sierra, but Berea lists them as different bushings.

I really like the flow to that kit, but using the sierra twist mech has put me off from using them. I'd love to see your feedback on if they operate like the sierras where they twist apart all the time.

The bushings read .476 on my calipers, just slightly fatter than Sierra bushings.

Great! Thank you. I look forward to your thoughts on the kits as a whole. I just ordered a couple to try too.
