a good Chinese piston/vac/pump filler that accepts Jowo/Bock replacement nibs?

i've recently bought "a few" Chinese pens and have been pleasantly surprised (for the most part).

the WingSung/JunLai 630 and Jinhao 9019 are particular favourites (but i'm not fixated on the #8 nibs).

that said, i've recently had a change in preferences toward broader nibs but Broad nibs seem very hard to find when purchasing these sorts of pens.

so i'm thinking that maybe the nib-swapping route may be the way to go.

Jowo and Bock B nibs are readily available so something that easily accepts them would seem to be ideal, and that would accommodate a little diy nib-meistering. :D

any suggestions? happy to pay up to €50 or so for something suitable.

I bought an Asvine V200 - which you can specify with bespoke Asvine or Bock nibs.  As long as you choose Bock you can swop it for any Bock #6 nibs.  I've tried fine, medium and stub on mine so far but Bock broad is an option available to purchase directly.  I'm very happy with the build quality and looks of mine.

Jinhao M = Pilot B = 0.7mm

 

Jinhao Hearbeat M 9019 = 0.9mm

 

Jinhao Fude #6/#5 = 0.7 - 1.2mm by angle of slants. 

 

If you still want a German steel, too many from majohn/asvine with jowo/bock housing or full nib set, which never bother really.

found this which looks useful, few years old though so YMMV:
