  • I watched this video again, and perhaps in the future you can discuss what variety of refills each pen can take.
  • I think you could fix the BiD pen with some blue Loctite. Just take the clip off, cover the area ot makes contact with the pen body and screw with the Loctite, and let it dry. Once dry, it should go back together and fix the movement issue. I don't recommend doing that and assembling it wet, since Loctite does a great job otlf locking things down tight (it might be very hard to remove if you do that. )
  • The clip issue you have on the BID is easy to fix, you just need a thin washer / shim 0.2 mm or so thickness with an inner diameter of at least 1 mm. Just unscrew the top and insert the shim either above where the clip hooks through the screw. This will force the clip into a fully locked position. The other issue with the BID design is that the full (and considerable impact force of the retracting bolt is born by the bolt handle alone. Given how strong the spring is, this is not a great design cause it can cause the bolt handle to back out and start deforming the threads. You can fix this by supergluing a 2mm thick rubber O-ring to the top of the brass bolt carrier in between where the carrier almost hits the top of the barrel. This way the bolt handle has a TINY bit of clearance from the notch and thus takes no impact force. All the impact lands on the rubber O-ring instead.

    Pooorly made review. There is no mentioning of the brand of pens. Just mention them in comments. Sorry, I can understand your mumbling.
