I like using the sierra kits but they seem to have a rattle noise at the tip. I am not sure if it is the spring or the ink or both. Anyone experience this and/or have a fix for it?
I have had that on two Seirras that were several years old - the nib (or as some have lately written "nose cone") gets loose from the metal sleeve above it. Very slightly loose, and yet as I write with it, there is a slight click like noise. I fixed both by taking it off and applying a light coat of epoxy and putting it back together.
Hank,
When you took it apart to apply the epoxy, did the metal sleeve actually separate from the nose cone?
Reason I ask is there was recently another thread about deliberately doing this and then replacing the metal sleeve with another material.
