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

btw why do you want to replace the nib? is it broken or something else

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.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
