    Default Removal of brass piece in end-cap of Sheaffer Connoisseur?

    This is intended for Ron Zorn and/or anyone else who might be able to answer:

    If you look in the back end (inside) of the barrel of a Sheaffer Connoisseur, you can see a small brass piece. I assume this is to add a bit of heft, but also can't tell if it is threaded on or what. I ask because a fellow pen person had discovered that Sheaffer piston converters are too long for this pen but a squeeze converter will fit.

    My question, therefore, is can any modification be done, such as removal of anything at the end of the barrel, that would allow a bit more open length for the use of said piston converter?

    TIA
