Can someone offer some advice about matching the upper and lower barrels of slimlines. I have decided to put my efforts into slimline modifications. As nice as the other pens are, they really aren't mine...
The problem I have is matching the upper and lower barrels. I have attached a sample. Maybe you can see where the barrels meet and are just a hair off. What is the best way to deal with this?
Am I just not exact enough in turning?
Would it be better to fit the bottom barrel a little into the top?
How did yinz (I'm from Pittsburgh) deal with this issue.
Any ideas would very much appreciated.
ps..When reviewing the pic I just noticed the tool marks I left in the pen...sheesh!
