Al-Star / Safari question

[4ever3]

So Heres what I'm wondering. Will the clear smoked forward grip section from an Al-Star thread into the barrel of a Safari, and if so, does the Safari cap lock onto the Al-Star forward section?

What at I am trying to accomplish is to load a converter on the Al-Star forward section with my ink of choice but be able to change that forward section from color to color Safari.

So if someone has an Al-Star and a Safari could check that out for me I would appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

I've just checked, they're not interchangable. On the Al-Star the black o-ring looking thing is attached to the barrel and on the Safari it's on the section.

Dang!!!

So much for that idea...

Thanks for checking for me Chris!

No worries. It's a shame, I prefer the smoked transparent section.

I guess I'll have to order a Charcoal Safari to transfer the forward section...

my what stinks is Lamy USA won't sell parts!

I know its not exactly the same as what you were hoping, but the clear section of a Vista will fit on the other Safaris, but its clear rather than a smoke color.

You know, that might be better than the charcoal!

Thanks for throwing that out!
