Well I have fell guilty of shattering a pen as well. I appreciate everyones advice. I am now certain that unless I find a taperite that has already been resaced, I am going to steer away. I am now in search of a replacement barrel, which I am sure others have found out, this is easier said than done. I will probably just have to hold onto the pieces until something comes around. I have seen other posts where people have been able to use the section in the barrel of a cheap Jinhao. Maybe someday I will try this route, but don't own one now. I have seen lots of taperite barrels for sale on Ebay. But these are the kind that has threads on the end. If anyone has a spare barrel please let me know, at this point I am not worried about color.
