Well add one more thing to the list of stuff to check for before assembling a pen. And why does it always have to happen with slim lines? Last night I was assembling a slimline. I put the nib in the barrel, checked the transmission works (learned this the hard way) then pressed the transmission in. Put the cartridge in, it would not go. I took the cartridge out, and looked down the barrel, could not see daylight at the nib. I poked the tip of the cartridge into the end of the nib, It knocked something loose that is now stuck inside the tube - I can shake the barrel and hear it rattle.
So, check the nib before you put it in the barrel. There may be something stuck in it.
