I had to finally make a Majestic Jr for a customer and have been wanting to make one since they came out. I ordered 2 kits and they both had some marks on the nib holders. I made and assembled the one pen. After looking at it under some better lighting, I found some bad plating on the nib holder. I looked closer and I can't believe the poor quality of plating on these 2 kits. Under 2x magnification, they look like they were rolled around on concrete and plated over. Don't think I'll be ordering any more of these at $45 a pop!
Then I tried a Gatsby click. This customer didn't like the loose sound of the sierra click so I figured I'd try this one since it was designed for only one type of refill. Huge mistake! The click mechanism is cheap and catchy. A bic feels like a classy pen compared! Glad they used the same size barrel as the sierra because I was able to convince my customer to let me put his barrel on a sierra twist.
I'm starting to understand why some don't like doing business with them. I've never had problems with the other kits I've bought from them til now.
