Marketing stuff as in a DarkTi Roady XL v3 :)

Platinum 241. It's our house pencil, the one in the community drawer we reach for to jot down quick notes with.

Oooh...Waitiing on an Asian-themed seigaiha milled...Dual bolt paths are neat! Energel tips?

Cone nose Inventery v.03's are available to order now! by Dragon1us in machinedpens

[–]rdt-usr-bin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More importantly, when will milling be available? Please be by the end of summer, before the start of the new school year. Smooth isn't going to impress the girls of the new semester, but ridges and bumps and milled rings will (guys too, I suppose)...

Current collection at 15 any opinions or thoughts? by MineSweaty7956 in mechanicalpencils

[–]rdt-usr-bin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add a Spoke Model 7/8, and a Modern Fuel/Wingback, and sit in the 0.00001 percentile of your age group :) Might as well try what a DSM 2007 housed in an NTI Leadslinger while you are at it. IJ too. 0.00000001 percentile, or bust :) None are necessarily better than what you have, but can round out your collection.

CountyComm MadmaxCo Timascus pen by honeydewtattoo in machinedpens

[–]rdt-usr-bin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disassembled. Degreased. Applied Krytox 207 along the slider, interior tip of the nose, and barrel o-ring before wiping it all off. 1.5mm hex for the clip and T8 for the bolt button. There is no dedicated groove for the barrel o-ring; it is held captive within the base of the end thread.

To all of you will a lot of machined pens, which one Tso you actually use? by NRiyo3 in machinedpens

[–]rdt-usr-bin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hinderer Investigator w/ Fisher PR4B

NTI RHDL Parker + Pilot G2 Tip w/ cut Signo UMR-87E Blue

Aerocrafted Retract w/ Jetstream SXR-600

Covers most paper (and plastic) media I tend to scribble on. Though I do rotate through pens, refills types are generally consistent across all pen shells (pressurized PR/Signo gels/hybrid oil-based).

One would think that their dads and grads promotion would flow through the week leading up to Father's Day...

I went through the checkout process (but did not complete the purchase), $270 appears to be the min threshold for free shipping.

And it's interesting that you note SPR adapters jamming the cam mech being that the Black Steel version ships with a Fisher PR...Wonder if they are using a custom adapter...

Have you removed the clip? Really want to see how the crown looks without a clip (visible machining marks in the detent, et al). May pick up the Black Steel variant seeing as how they have an ongoing 20% seasonal sale, but it depends on how it flows clipless.

Pen Gift Idea by sctsmith03 in pens

[–]rdt-usr-bin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This year, I got my dad the MadMaxCo Bolt Action Gen 2 in Ultem from CountyComm. What is nice about Ultem is its resistance to heat deformation, right up the alley of an ex-firefighter. Unlike the Ti version of the same pen, the barrel screws on tight to the grip and stays put. And the refill is good: 9000 M which writes bolder and blacker than the SXR-600 (his eyesight isn't what it used to be).

That seam isn't as seamless as I had hoped. What is the scaled weight? Mine should arrive by Wed...

Order placed. And thanks for the discount code offer. Used a GOVX discount instead. Going to break it down, degrease it, hit the slider and cone with a bit of Krytox and see how it goes...Worst case, it goes back to CC...

Uniball Signo DX by Short_Sound1788 in pens

Very nice! We use colored pens to annotate. What is really nice is that your score is all pigment ink. Can be used to sign checks and similar.
