Is the tube too short or is the bottom not screwed on all the way? It looks like in all the pics with the pen there is a noticeable gap between the tip end and the blank. Am I seeing things wrong?

The blank itself looks really good I think. Good job on the casting. The pen looks good too as long as you can fix the gap.
 
Todd actually it's not to short there is a gold ring just above the narl part. I must say i have two different bushing sets Wal streetII and Gatsby and this is a Monet pen kit i learn something i turn this cast using gatsby bushing and turn it smooth to bushing, now when i assembly pen it show a little high to the ends and im not sure if i can take it apart i never try and i don't want to screw it up.
 
Ah ok. The pen looks great. I just couldn't tell since I didn't have it in hand what the space was between the blank and the gold ring. One of these years I will get to trying casting.
