Finished cleaning the M1 and M2, soaking did the trick.

Had to disassemble one of the converters because it somehow got water behind the plunger. Reapplied silicone grease on it after cleaning to hopefully stop that from happening again.

Swapped the O-rings between the section and body for slightly thicker ones which may even further improve the sealing, but time will tell.

Photo of two fountain pens and writing samples on a piece of paper.  The top sample reads "Hongdian M2 SEF / P.I. Asa-gao" and the pen underneath it is a dark blue metal pocket pen with a black clip, capped.  The bottom sample reads "Hongdian M1 SEF / P.I. Tsuki-yo" and the pen underneath it is a silver metal pocket pen with a silver clip, capped. It has a smiley face visible under its clip.
