Mega Group Buy 2 - Ranga Pens With Bock Nibs ( 5 Models : Model 3, 4, 5, 3C, 4C)

[gryphon1911]

Ordered the Model 5 Demonstrator with flat end. Paypal payment already sent.

 

So excited!! Loved the first group buy where I got the Giant Bamboo demo with polished finials.

 

This will be a great addition!

 

Thanks for everyone that is making this happen.

PS apologies for a not very sharp focus, but gives an idea of size difference 3C vs 5

[sansenri]

I am curious to see the model 5 demo with flat ends... please Gryphon1911 post a pic when it arrives!

 

here is a size comparison model 5 vs Aurora Talentum (the Aurora looks like a Lady size...)

Thanks for help with clarifying the difference between 3 and 4. I now know I have the bakul flat 3 and the glossy 3C, along with the 5 demonstrator - glad to have the advice about the 4 step down. At any rate, my Rangas are lovely and have received many compliments since I purchased them in previous group buys

Hi

What are the dimensions of each of the models? Length, weight, width? Can a particular model be shortened or lengthened? Can all models come either with a domed cap and domed body end or a flat top and flat body end?

Thanks

 

Eytim,

I submitted my order assuming that these pens could also be used as eyedropper pens. Does the bock nib setup make this unrealistic?

In fact Bock nib units make these with 3 in 1 filling system.

Cartridge Convertor and eyedropper

So you can use them as ed filled without any problem. Just use silicone grease at both threads, nib unit- section and section- barrel and you're good to go.

Outstanding! I had hoped that this was the case. Thanks for the info.

Can I get a clip on the Model #5?

 

I know it won't fit most pockets... but when I was in India, I had a vest made with extra-long pockets for my oversized pens

 

 

> Without Nib But Pen threaded to take Bock Nib (@ less US$ 14)

 

I have a Ranga Zeal that I tried to put an ebonite feed in, but it didn't fit in the Bock threading -- can I get a smooth bore sized for standard #6 (6.3mm) feed/nib?

 

 

> 6th Pen is model 5A Demonstrator with Ebonite Cap and Section

Is the demonstrator with ebonite cap and section available in Model #4 as well? Do I just request model 4A?

I love both ebonite and seeing how much ink I have.

My Ranga Zeal looks like this model. (it even shows ink color in the finial!)

@sansenri -- thanks for the post with extra pictures! I just got a Gama Kuyil and like the texture but was worried how ripple material would look, and yours look way nicer than I was expecting.

I'm excited for my very first ebonite experience; ordered a mottled green Model 3 with gold hardware.

Dear Sir,

 

Model 5 is available in Clipless only. We cannot bore the Bock plastic housing unit as it is very thin and it is moulded.

Model 4A & 5A is not part of this group buy.

Take care

How long is the model 4 pen without the cap?

Also, I never replaced a nib unit before so excuse my lack of knowledge. I like #5 nibs more so if I later decided that the #6 nib is too big for me, is it possible to simply replace the nib unit with another?

Thanks for the help!

actually, no.6 nib unit is not that long ...

but these nibs cannot be interchanged as the housing that takes the nib have different dia...

 

For sizes, you can see that the Model 4 is almost the same size as model 3... uncapped approx 135mm
