    Hi, I'm looking into making a MSXA Retractable.
    I was thinking about using a Papermate profile or Dr. Grip clicker. Maybe G2.
    I just don't want to hack away at the back cap. I'd like it to be smooth.
    Any suggestions?

    You could use anything that is used to make a retractable MX, just make the ink tube a little bit longer. Most of the retractable MX type pens I've seen though cut the back cap.

    this belongs in the quick modifications thread hehe

    but i think your best bet is to make k4s's retractable rsvp mx and extend it for a msxa

    i guess you could do it how da did it in his hg3r mod, but i know that you can't find teh better retractable mechanism sleep.gif''
    and that mod is rather hard to make...

    well, if anyone has, are there any mods like the hg3r and uses a similar mechanism to the better retractable mechanism that can be found in America (i thought taht the better retractable was found in america, but i couldnt' find it) or is on penwish/jetpens?
    cause i wanna make this kinda mod too

    gosh, i told you about that mod during school today >.<''
    oh, if you want me to make 2 cuts, one for a regular mx and then one for a msxa, then just bring in another rsvp tomorrow
    if you're just gonna use the rsvp that you gave me to cut over the weekend today for the msxa, then i'll just do that then

    the only way to to about it is Cutting the RSVP tip after the little line to allow ink tube to go through freely, then make a hold in the middle of the comSSa cap wide enough to move freely. Then place the Spring on the inktube in the RSVP barrel so it pushes down on the part where it gets thin. and then just use the SuperGel/Neogel grip/cap like in the Pendolsa Retractable X and then botta boom. You have a retractable MSXA. If you need further details i can help ya out just PM or add me on msn: [email protected]
