European style pen making

[Aerotech]

i was just wondering if i was doing something wrong. when i put together my european pens i am having to push the transmission in way passed the line. is this normal??

It is normal because the lower tube of the Euro kit is longer than the slimline.

Yes, because the lower barrel is longer than on a slimline so the transmission must be pressed in further. I don't pay attention to the line...press and test...press and test...press and test.
Do a good turn daily!

i had to ask because even though that seemed like the obvious answer the thought of having the pen top as the bottom did cross my mind. thanks for the confirmation.
