Converting a LZR LINZ Eagle into a BP

[TonyL]

Is this possible? I love the Eagle, but not rollerballs. Can it be converted to a Parker style ball point? If yes, how?

Thank you!

First off, you're nuts. Rollerballs are better. .

I assume you know you can use a pilot g2 gel refill with no mods.

Second, yes. For a regular ballpoint, just make a spacer for the back and a small spacer over the front shaft. A piece of a refill cap works.

Swap em for Liberty's : )

Here's another option, I would go Dan's route with the shop made conversion though.

Out of curiosity why do you like ballpoints better?

I'll trade liberty's for eagles all day long!

Thanks!
I have more Libertys than I know what to do with - I love them.
However, I made close to,if not more than 300 pens in a year. I have kept all but 3 for myself. I what to make 12 (another 9) 9 that will serve as my personal pens. I don't have the type of "hand" that lends itself to a rollerball, and not practical for my type of work. I found a nice leather case to store them too. Ok..so it can me done. Good to know and will get turning my Eagles. Thank you.

Thank you Glen. I am sitting less than a foot from 9 of them (9, because I bought 10, tried one and didn't like it). My customers like them....but these pens are for me to use and I like BPs (Schmidt 9000M or Fisher Space).
