You have a way to make a kit I don't really like into something special. Nice stuff as usual.

You're a heck of a craftsman John! Very nice!

Very cool, do I take it that the section uses a standard thread? Is there a chance you would share just what that may be?

The threads appear to be standard but you would not be able to find and off the shelf tap due to the odd diameters used. The thread into the barrel appears to be 1.0. I made the tap for the feeder thread about a year and a half ago and do not remember the exact size. I believe it was .5 but would need to remeasure to verify that. I used a caliper to measure the kit parts then converted the measurements to imperial and used the HF drill pack to get close.

I was Able to find the tap and die for the front section of a CSUSA Gent pen. I tried it out last night. it is 10 x .75 I did not have a 9.25mm drill so I used 9.2 and it worked out fine.
I found this place on the net and they have alot of odd sizes

Nice job. I like the clear nib part.

I have made many Sedonas (incl. closed ends) but this is one of the nicer one's I have seen.
