The B3776E housing, to enable use of a stock Platinum 3776 nib and feed in a Conid fountain pen, will be available again in a week or so, once the design is blessed by my beta tester.

Bock #6 Feeds/Housings Cancelled
Regrettably, I’ve cancelled production of Bock #6 feeds/housings. There are too many variants, and that makes it difficult for my customers to know what to order.
I do plan to release flexible nibs in Bock #6, though these will be specific to manufacturer, for example, Bexley, Visconti, Conid, and Conklin, to name a few.
Platinum 3776 nib in Bock #6 Housing
Custom designed housing to allow a stock Platinum 3776 nib and feed to be used in a Bock #6 fountain pen. Shown here is a Conid fountain pen with the 3776 nib and feed installed.
Bock #6 in clear cast acrylic
Bock #6 nib assembly in clear cast acrylic is complete. This one has a steel Bexley nib.
I’m also reverse engineering a Bock #6 with a titanium nib borrowed from Newton Pens. The feed design is different because the nib has a different curvature than the steel Bock nib. The housing is also a little different, but it still fits existing pens that accept Bock #6 steel nibs.
Bock #6 Prototypes
Each day, with the help of my son, I’m able to work about an or so. We’ve made prototypes in acrylic of Bock #6 feeds and housings. The housing is more or less complete; the feed still needs tweaking to fit Bock #6 nibs.
