I agree. Railroading isn't an issue unless it actually happens when you're doing calligraphy. You're likely not going that fast.

Thanks!
I found their newer nib addressed many of the issues original one had. However, they have made the nib tip bigger, so, not as fine of a writer.
This nib deserves an eye-dropper. I have it eye dropped straight, with great results. It works very well, with NO railroading, and no leaking.
Out of pilot 823 FA, MB 149FA, Regalia writing Labs, here I'd rank the max flex:
1. Regalia writing labs
2. MB149=Mag 600
4 Pilot FA #15
I do not consider FPR nibs qualified for this list :)

Worth trying a Good Blue Pen 14K gold flex nib. Max line width around 3mm. I have a Regalia Crossflex on way so will compare the two soon!

I love my mag600, and your striped model looks fantastic - I may need a second pen...
Add a drop of vegetable glycerine to the converter to reduce railroading 👍

Thanks for an excellent review! Alas, the blue is sold out at Goulet. Maybe they'll re-stock? Happy to see this great pen anyway! Cheers.

[@ZenofThePen]

I would think they'd restock if they sold out that quick, but who knows! Glad you enjoyed the review! Thank you very much for leaving a comment too.

I wanted the Azure from Goulet, but they told me it was sold out and they didn't know if they'd get more. I didn't want yet another all-black pen, so I bought the purple Charoite model instead. So far, so good.

Nice review!
1. The custodian thing is a marketing sentence from Onoto pen company (which produce a pen model called Magna). I doubt it has anything to do with the Magna Carta company.
2. You can unscrew the nib unit from this pen and transplant it in any Jowo based pen (the nib units are compatible)

[@ZenofThePen]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I do very much appreciate it.
1. I got that info from this website appelboom.com/magna-carta-magneye-crimson-st-fountain-pen/
2. I did not know the Mag 600 was Jowo compatible! That is a fantastic tid-bit to note! Thank you!

[@Howardsheppard]

I have this exact pen. I agree with your assessment. Do you know if the nib/feed are removable? I had no luck when I tried. Didn’t want to break anything!

[@ZenofThePen]

I have yet to try to actually remove the nib/feed from the housing.

[@RaphaelOuzan]

@@ZenofThePen Same question actually! Didn't seem like the nib unit is removable like the classic 600. Asked Goldspot Pen who sold it to me but didn't hear back yet.

[@ZenofThePen]

@RaphaelOuzan I have yet to try to remove the nib from its housing.

[@HomerIncognito]

When did you buy this pen? I've heard that they've improved the pen since it was first released.

[@ZenofThePen]

This was a pen released by goulet in the lastt 2 months or so. Mine arrived about a month ago.

[@Shak-MD]

Having both versions, I can confirm this to be true.

Magna Carta support is none existent 😩
