I have been searching many threads here on whether a Pilot G2 Gel rollerball can be used in a pen which would normally use the Schmidt 888/5888 refill. As many have found out, it does fit, however there is a subtle mechanical difference that may matter to some. The Pilot G2 extends beyond the tip of the nib by 0.020" less than the Schmidt. The pen I used was a Jr Gent II from CSUSA. It's a seemingly small difference, but is noticeable.
I documented the two sided by side and posted the pics in case it would be of interest to anyone contemplating the same situation.
