Does anyone know how to remove the nib and/or feed on the Sniper? I'm trying to replace a nib on mine. Due to the hooded section, I'm not sure if the assembly is screwed on, or that I have to knock out the feed/nib. Thanks for any advice/clue.

i dont think so that's possible.. best bet will be to contact ASA pens and ask for way forward

The Sniper has screw in nib units. The body is three pieces: the barrel, the hood, & a connector threaded on both sides. You need to unscrew the hood first. Then, the nib unit can be unscrewed.

Just got mine today. Clear barrel looks great. Very impressed.attachicon.gif20150420_210426.jpg

I love seeing everyone's pens and writing samples. A very good looking pen.

Totally love the photos of the pen J-MM posted . I just love it !

 

I am just learning about the group buy and how it works.

 

If I read some of the posts correctly, this pen is available for purchase from the ASA website ?

I'd love to go check the site out and see if I want to buy one. Although, it might be a dangerous site for me to visit.

 

I will watch for any future group buys of the ASA products :)

I enjoyed visiting the website so many lovely pens :wub: It would be difficult to select only one :unsure:

 

All the options.. like trying to order a pizza and trying to decide what toppings you want ;)

 

Looks like I need to save up my monthly "pen allowence"

Or once again.. Beg for a raise :notworthy1: "I need a raise"

Answer... :lticaptd:

 

I'll watch and wait with the others

Is the connector left or right hand threaded on the hood end? I am having trouble unscrewing the hood and do not want to use heat since it may ruin the finish.

Is it possible to get an all transparent acrylic version of this pen with an acrylic section/hood? The transparent section option is not available on the website.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
