I'm interested in this kit for personal pens, the regular jr. gent is a bit pricey however, I was wondering if anyone purchased this kit and could let me know how it is and if you have extra bushings for this kit you do no longer need. Thanks!

Harry , this pen is similar to a Baron , it uses the same tubes but the bushings are different , it's just a little different in design . A quick search for a Jr Gent 1 will give you all the information you are looking for , there appears to be some issues with this kit . The search will give that info .

Thank you, so you wouldn't recommend purchasing this pen kit?

I've heard complaints of the plating wearing off easier than the high end kits. Remember you get what you pay for.

well, I'm planning on trying one or two chrome ones. Worth a shot!

I have one that a customer sent for me to make bushings.
I sent him two sets, and the last I heard, he was pretty disappointed in the kits.
I was less than impressed, compared to the better ones.
The refill was leaking under it's cap, what a mess. junk.
Quality wasn't bad considering the price, but I'll not be buying any.
All that glitters, as in a cheap price for a
"shiny object", is not gold.
My time spent making a pen is worth more than to put it on a subpar kit,
that's my way of seeing it.

I like apple pie... but I'm not eating it out of the garbage can.:tongue:
