I have recently bought several Baron Kits from T/R and I have found problems with all of them. I have found that the brass tubes have not been cut square and that they will not take the Baron bushes or the baron barrel trimmer also supplied by T/R. I have had to sand the inside of the tubes to make them fit for use. I wonder if the tubes are not truly round. Before I realised this problem I damaged a coupling and a gold trim on a fountain pen trying to insert them, so I now have a turned pen needing spares. Today after having the same problem with the roller ball brass tubes I come to fit the pen together and find there was no spring in the kit and I am now waiting for T/R to phone me back!.
Is this a common problem with these pen kits and would I therefore be better off swapping to another design.
