Most comfortable pen

I believe it is, I know for sure it's black but I'm not positive about the size. I'll get back to you when I get home this evening.
neat idea, but it still looks like a G2 pen.........just sayin'
it is better to lose a hacked g2 than a $200 mb....
what it gets down to me is....the cartridge is what you write with...who cares what it is wrapped in...really if i could find a guy to lathe me out a thicker wooden pen that a mont blanc refill would work in, I would be tickled pink....
how long are the MB refills & how thick a pen do you want..........? I can do that!

This hack completely misses the point. If anything, the G2 refill is SUPERIOR to th Mont Blanc. People love MB pens because of their EXTERIOR, not their guts. It would make way more sense to hack a Pilot's GUTS in order to put it into a MB's EXTERIOR.

Right now I am using a signo 207 that is 1/2" and it is comfortable...i would like something bigger than that...maybe up to but not over 3/4...

Lots of guys can do this. Rudy Vey on this board can probably do it, for example.
there are also people who can make you a nice resin pen in any style or color you want that will fit that refill, although these people are harder to find.

I have to agree. The MB was not any improvement to me. I use a modded G2 Limited with the silicon sleeve from a Dr. Grip pen. Has a little heft and nice grip.

That is the one that i used too...
The MB refill and exterior are matched to each other - of course the exteriors are sought after. The refill is still great to write with, makes total sense to me that people take out the Pilot refill and replace it with the MB one. The reverse hack - why would you put a Pilot in a $200+ exterior, the MB refill is quite good.
This hack provides those who want to use the MB refill an opportunity to do so without having to buy the exterior.
As suggested by another poster, the Lamy Safari is a nice pen to write with and comes in at under $40.

The Pilot refills cost between $2 and $4 for a 2-pack where the MB refills cost $12 to $15. It has been my experience that Mont Blanc rollerball carts tend to dry out quickly. I have left a couple of them unused for a couple months and then I can't get them to write. Pilot carts tend to start right up, as they have gel ink. It has also been my experience that while the MB carts are a tad smoother, they can be a little more scratchy as well. Pilot makes rollerball and ballpoint pens that get up there in price just as Mont Blanc does.
