Issues: There is a very small bump on the end of the barrel where the pressure bar has pressed on the inside of the barrel some.
Comments: From what I understand the lever filling Onoto's, smooth BHR and the Sunburst style clips are less commonly encountered. I don't know Onoto's well enough to say how precise that is, but it's what I was told so take it for what it's worth.
