What are your preferences for purchases?

1. Cartridges with tubes only.
2. A kit with the bottom already assembled leaving you with only the top to finish?

When I first started selling rifle cartridges for penmaking, I figured people would want just the cartridge. We are all perfectly capable of gluing in a tube and seating a transmission, right? That would also leave one free to use the kit of one's choice.

To my surprise, I found that nearly everybody wanted a completed lower pen half (cartridge with tube and transmission installed). I offer a plain cartridge, but the vast majority of my sales are complete kits (assembled lower half plus refill, upper tube, clip, and finial).

Regards,
Eric
