Hi all...below are the start of my cartridge pens they are currently .303 British ; 7.62 x51(.308) and 7.62 x39(AK 47)...here i have the problem...303 a little long but delt with .308 spot on...7.62x39 well short. Does anyone know of a mid size kit that may fit...i thought about the credit card kits" too short" mini bolt action refils also....i have tried cutting a std cross refill down but it wont withdraw into the top case....is my only solution to turn a wide mid ring cos that will look wrong again any ideas :nooidea:

Look at making a center band/piece that won't look out of place on the kit Mark .. :thinks:

If Authenticity is crucial look int Les Elms pens where he has solved all problems over the years and is a world leader in all things cartridge. Have a look at IAP Library stuff by him. He is my Guru.

I have been giving this some thought myself....if i use the guts from a credit card pen the length is right with the smaller nib....(anyone know if i can get them in copper?) Or cut a cross refill to fit with the shorter transmision and refill guide...job done....lets see if it fits:praying:
