Bushing question

[dansills]

Do the atrax components use the same bushing as JR II?? Doesn't appear to taper down at the end of the barrel?

Atrax ROLLERBALL and FOUNTAIN PEN use the Berea 30A bushing set, which is extremely similar (I have not measured to the thousandth) to the Jr. Gent bushings.
The triton RB and FTN also use this bushing set.

I am on EB now and saw that ... I have Johnnycnc TBC bushings for the gent and wanted specs before ordering the atrax to try. Is there somewhere I can get specs on the atrax so I can compare with these I have?

The ID (the critical dimension in this case) is the same. I have used CSUSA bushings to turn the atrax. I do measure the OD with a caliper, so that could vary to some small degree.

What I am saying is it should work.

Using MY caliper, the ID is.381 and .469, but Johnny has much more accurate measuring devices than I do.

Ok well ID works! I was actually more curious about the OD of the kit itself though. Was hoping someone had specs for barrel and cap so I could check these to see if I needed new ones. Anyone?

Cap= .570" at both ends
Barrel= .515 and .482 measuring actual components OD

I just picked up a couple of Continental kits from Woodcraft last week. They look to be the same as the Atrax. A nice looking pen. Hope to get at it soon.

Yeah!! Ok well based on those specs they work. Thank you so much Ed for measuring them. You win ...... An order I'm placing now! Thanks again

Same components, different name.
Difference: woodcraft will charge ya more, if your mail ordering.
