Inventery Bolt-Action Pen

Medium Brass pen arrived yesterday. Really happy with it. The Brass is gorgeous and the finish is super smooth.
Two things though: 1) The spring inside is way too strong. 2) The cutout path for the bolt needs to be deburred. There are some uncomfortably sharp edges along there.
Here it is along side my Copper Tactile Turn. The two really compliment one another.

glennacThe spring in the Copper Tactile Turn was a little slopping (too loose). So I ended up swapping the springs in the two pens above and now they are even with one another, requiring equal pressure to engage the bolt action. Quite comfortable.

glennacCurrently have titanium and copper Tactile Turns which I really like. Considering purchasing this one as well. Any thoughts as to which you like better? Worth the purchase?

SyrihlI am not a big fan of this Brass Inventery pen. I like the quality of the Brass and the smooth finish. But it’s simply too back-heavy to use for any length of time.
The Tactile Turn is back- heavy as well but feels more balanced.
You really should consider Machine Eras Field Pens as well. Loving the Stainless Steel one I have.

glennacThanks, will check them out. I honestly prefer the titanium Tactile turn over the copper which I find to be a little too heavy.

glennacI felt same negative points too.
I replaced too strong spring with 70g spring for Cherry MX key switch.
Although the length of Cherry MX Spring is shorter than stock spring, it has just strength when stretched.
