Nib upgrade Question

[kyaggie]

Hello all,

For the purposes of this discussion let's say I have a Jr Gent fountain pen and I'm going to upgrade to a Bock fine point nib. Is it recommended to upgrade the feed and housing to a Bock feed and housing or are the ones supplied in the kit sufficient?

Thanks,
Mike

I think I would change the feed as well for the price. I have not done this although the nib will likely fit I am not sure the feed will. But the ones that have done this will chime in soon.

Any input from the fountain pen experts?

Thanks,

Do not change the feed, only change the nib. Here is a video I made on how to change the nib on a Jr. Series Component set.

As said above: the standard feed works just fine with a Bock nib.
