We put together 5 classic twist kits this weekend and noticed that there is a consistency issue in the amount of effort it takes to twist the transmission once it's built.
I think only one is what I would consider smooth action on the twist while the others are various degrees of tight. A couple would rather spin the transmission or unscrew the transmission from the body than extend or retract the refill.
The trans doesn't feel overly tight to turn when out of the pen and I've verified that everything is square and seating well on the turning and assembly (no angled tubes or mating surfaces).
Has anyone else experienced this with these kits?
