Perfect Fit Twist Mechanisms

[jcm71]

Does anyone know a source for these? I would like to have some spares without having to buy a complete component set. I recently turned one and the twist mechanism slips inside the brass fitting at the clip end of the upper barrel. I swapped out the mechanism with one from a correctly operating pen, and it now works fine. Any suggestion on a source? No luck with Exotics, Berea, or Beartoothwoods. Many thanks.

I think there are a few different kinds. A slimline, for example, is different from a Sierra, etc. I've found them on Amazon myself, and have a few bags of around 15-20 of them.

They are not all the same, and its hit or miss in my excperience. I haven't found a brand that doesn't have some that are too tight or sticky, some too loose. I would say, maybe a third of each bag is optimal. Too tight, you can get away with, and may even be able to work them out a bit so they work more optimally. If its too loose, its usually a tosser.
