I have a customer coming back tomorrow for a problem with the nib/ feed on a Statesman Fountain pen....This is how the customer describes the problem... "I have a recurrence of the thing that happened when I was trying it out for the first time at your house - the nib unit has loosened and the black housing is no longer flush with the barrel, and I can't push it back in." When I was first getting the pen set up for him to try writing, the feed/nib was loose and I tightened it up. He has used 3 ink cartridges in two weeks. Is it possible he is pushing the feed out when inserting the cartridge? Thanks for any advice you can provide. Darrell Eisner
 
Darrell, its possible but not likely, I would change the feed and housing out as I've found that on the kit pens the feed will on some be milled slightly off, I think that will solve the problem.
