Nib review

Since there are lots of new members since Anthony wrote this, I believe it is worth "dredging up". The topic is locked and archived, so comments will have to be here, not there.

Jeff, if this is objectionable, please let me know-but I think the topic is ageless and merits occasional review. Ed

Ageless.....just like me []

Thanks Ed, you were reading my mind again. I just answered 3 emails on this subject. Seems there has been some problems removing the steel nibs in the small housings. I guess the seating machine has really been cramming those suckers in.

But you should be able to remove the steel nib in the Jr.'s & Barons by just wiggle & pull, wiggle & pull some more. There is a picture of a knock out block you can use, but I only use a knock out block on old FP's that need restored.

As you know, Anthony, I am infinitely patient-but the last one I removed I, also, nearly reverted to the BFH approach. (Big Fat Hammer for those who don't know)
