hello, I'm pretty new here. I have a question. I currently am making cartridge pens out of various calber shell casings. I have been using slimline kits for the clip and transmissions. I find some of the transmission to be really easy, I want to use the term "loose". Others are "tight" with slight resistance, which I prefer. I haven't been able to tell until the pen is put together if its loose or tight. I'm thinking of using a cigar kit instead of the slimline for the larger transmission. Can anyone comment on if this would be an improvement. thanks
 
I have made a variety of shell casings using both the 7mm tranny and the cigar tranny. I personally prefer the cigar style, but that is for two reasons: its more solid to me and is much smoother, and because i prefer parker style ink cartridges over the cross style. You can buy both from Woodnwhimsies.com
