The picture below shows a turned blank I made with the intent of pairing it with a Nautical kit. I was really super happy with how this pen barrel looked as I turned and finished it. When I started assembly it was pretty obvious that it just looked awful with the hardware I had in mind. Fortunately I had not assembled it to the point I could not remove the clip mechanism. If you have ever tried to disassemble a Nautical or fly fishing pen you know what I mean. I really hate to relegate the barrel to the scrap pile, so I am searching for an alternative kit that I might be able to use with it. I'll look through the IAP bushing and tube app, but, if any of you seasoned veterans out there have any ideas I'd love to hear them. The barrel is 2.62 inches long and has a 3/8 inch tube. The length could be reduced somewhat and there is sufficient "meat" on the barrel that it could be turned down (likely needed if a suitable kit could be found).
Thanks for looking.
