Today I assembled a pen I turned several wweks ago- a Sierra. The top went on fine. I use an arbor press and it was smooth and seated well. Then I assembled the refill into the transmission and screwed everything together with the tip section. When I went to put the tip into the top portion of the Sierra the last 3/8" was hard to press in AND once in, the transmission turned and the point appeared but it was not smooth and easy.
I changed transmissions 3 times with other Berea Sierra kits and they were fine on other pens but not on this one.....I got the same results--- hard to turn to get the point out.
Apparently, it is something in the top portion that is causing this. Any ideas?
To top it all off- It is an expensive kit and an expensive blank.
