Howdy!,

I have a bunch of Ink Pens that I'd like to put a Refill in.
I looked today and saw the price of one is .99 USD, Two for $1.59USD.

I can buy packages of Ink Pens at The Dollar Tree

Long ago Ink Pen Refills could be bought in a pack of 10 for a low price.

Does anyone know if bargains like that are still sold by any store,
or website?

Thanks a bunch.

No idea.
I wished I had a refill for one pen I used a lot that recently went
dry.
Its a free pen I got from the Army several years ago that I really like
since it black and gold and matches my uniform (black shirt/trousers with
gold shield, bars and name tag).
I imagine they are no longer made since pens are so cheap now and
people just toss them once they go dry.
If they are made it would be cost prohibitive in making, stocking,
shipping, etc.

I opened one of the Pens I got from The Dollar Tree store and measured
the Ink tube in it.

The plastic part is 3 - 7/8" long (I didn't measure the metal tip),
and about 3/16" diameter.

If that Army Pen takes a regular refill like the one inside my Pen,
go to The Dollar Tree store and buy a pack of 2 or more Pens and open
one of the Pens and put the innards in Your Army Pen.

Many Pens like the Parker T-Ball Jotter and those made by Cross have a different shape to them instead of just being a straight tube.

If Your Army Pen has a special shaped in cartridge, open it up and look
to see if there is a Name of a Company, or a Serial Number printed on it.

I know Huntington has a Office Depot store, they may have a Refill for
Your Pen.

Or try looking for it at Office Max or Wal-Mart.

You might try looking for it on Your favorite Search Engine to see if the Results Listing has any help for You, I use DuckDuckGo.com when I Search.

I did a Search for Army Pen Refill and most of the Results Listing had something about Swiss Army Pens so I looked further down the list and
got to a listing for Military Pens.

On that page I looked for the word Army (without the word Swiss) and this
is the first item that came up:

https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Mini-Ball-Pen-MB-style -PU_1673981199.html?spm=a2700.7724857.normalList.42.4fb430a7jwpVrJ

That listing is about buying a BULK ORDER but I thought I'd send the
Link to You anyway in case it shows the same Pen You have.

Hope You find a Refill for that thar Pen.

You might find something at an Office Max/Office Depot or similar... but
mostly what I see are the packages of the disposable sort of ink pens...

At the alibaba.com page I made another Search and added the word Refills
to the Search String:


https://www.alibaba.com/showroom/military+ball+pen+refills.html?fsb= y&IndexArea=product_en&CatId=&SearchText=military+ball+pen+refills& isGalleryList=G

Near the bottom of that page it mentions the refills come from China.

I'm sure there are other places where You can look for Refills for
Your Pen.

I hope maybe the Pen takes a standard refill and what The Dollar Tree
sells will fill the bill for You.

... We have normality, I repeat, we have normality. (Whatever that is.)

I tried one time to open it, but couldn't find a way.
The bottom part opened, the spring was showing and the tip of the ball
point. Couldn't get that out and didn't want to work too hard on it in
fear of breaking it.
I'll check again, as soon as I find it.
Put it in a desk drawer and now its disappeared. :)
