Review on 🖋️ BASTION Raw Copper Bolt Action Pen: A Premium Luxury Retractable Metal Pen with Gift Case for Effortless Style and Elegance by Joseph Morris

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Please fix the bolt handle!

Bought as gift for wife who works late in clinic. Impressed by the reviews and images of the Bastion over the slew of these things on the market now and took a chance. Arrived today and awed everyone who are now considering purchase. However, after got home and tried it out, the bolt handle knob was loose and bound up the action. It wiggles and turns freely but this doesn't seem to be designed to do so as it jams the bolt. The fit and finish otherwise are amazing! The barrel/cap joint seam is invisible till its opened to access ink and disappears when it is screwed back which itself is pretty awesome. It wrote incredibly smooth and the weight drives the pen across the paper.I want one of these for myself and planned to get one for each of my sons in college but I'm put off by the bolt handle problem - really disappointing especially considering the beauty of this pen.Overall rating gets 3 stars for the letdown after the fast delivery and good initial impression. Value and Comfort are all the way and Durability is moot if it doesn't work.I submitted a return/exchange and we'll see if this was just a quirk - although some other reviews gave the same issue. Will follow up after exchange.Following up:Sent the first unit back and received another quickly. This one was tight and worked properly and had the same quality in finish. I followed the pro tip in another buyer’s review and cut a piece of firm foam (like the pool noodle kind) and tucked it up in the end thru the bolt knob slot. If one imagines (maybe too much) this imparts a satisfying "thump” like a suppressed weapon opposed to the loud "clack” the pen action has - loud as dropping the slide on a chambered round in a crowded room. Depends on one’s preference but I think it’ll keep it going longer. Happy customer
