Z500 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 can anyone give me a heads up as to what gold #8 nibs people have swapped into their conid kingsize with a high level of compatibility ? thinking of buying a kingsize and wonder if there are options for nib swapping with this particular model ?

zaddick Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 The default is Bock #8 nibs so they should all fit without much of any issue. If you buy an adapter collar from flexible nib factory your can use nibs from an MB 149 or Sailor KOP. This saves trying to modify the feed and collar to work properly. If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram! Link to post Share on other sites
Karmachanic Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) Bock Titanium! I have a strong memory of reading a post about a person who had Flexible Nib Factory make a custom made #8 housing to fit #6 nibs to fit Conid Kingsize. More fun for less $ FNF also makes custom Bock housings for MB 149 and Sailor KOP to fit the Kingsize. (zaddick beat me to it)It is my understanding that Waterman Emblem will fit.Maybe Onoto #7? (8.4mm wide)nibs.com has a couple of Weidlich #8s Edited July 8, 2019 by Karmachanic "Simplicate and add Lightness." Link to post Share on other sites

Z500 Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 fnf is a great find thank you both ... when you guys say kop is there anywhere on the planet that you can buy sailor nibs without the pens ? Link to post Share on other sites
IvanChichikov Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Being located in the US, what are the best options to buy Bock 8 nibs or other replacement nibs? Ive only been able to find Appelboom carrying a m1000 nib (which j believe should fit in the standard bock 380 housing/feed unit ) and FP Nibs with Bock style 380 nib and housing units (are these actually Bock nibs?), and Beaufort ink has some Bock 380 nibs. Any suggestions or recent experience with these? Link to post Share on other sites
SpecTP Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 you can buy a spare nib from Conid. Link to post Share on other sites
