Hoping someone can shed some light on my problem. I've bought and made several Baron FP but although I usually get the upgrade (#5) nib (F point) I've never tried the upgrade nib until yesterday...and...it doesn't fit. When fitting the nib to the feed and 'hand pressing' it iinto the feed tube the way I do with the standard nib that comes with the kit, the nib is just WAY to loose. So loose that I can fit the feed into to sleeve and DROP the nib into the sleeve on top of the feed. And then it will fall out when turned to the normal writing position. I dug out 3 other 'upgrade' nibs and they do the same thing. I also noticed that the upgrade nib will nestle completely inside the standard...something I would never expect with nibs of the same size. So...anyone have a clue? Is it me...am I not doing something I should be? And...has anyone experienced this problem? (I got the kits and nibs from Exotic Blanks.) I want to find out if it's my problem before I contact Ed.
Thanks in advance.
