I guess I have a couple of legends, with a danish bit. I've tried them on my Ozark Mountain pipes and my Country Gentleman, those take filters and no danish bits.. fwiw, I'm not sure what my other ones are... Legends, or what.
I bought one for filtered and one for unfiltered. I just swap them between pipes. If I did not have teeth I suppose the originals would last forever.
Weird, my bent danish stems come so barely bent. But that's why I like them, cause they aren't too severe.
That's a cool tip, I am going to give that a go. I agree that sharp bend is aggressive at the last half of an inch from the tip. PITA to get a pipe cleaner through.
I have 3 Forever Stems that I bought in 2019 from Walkers Briar Works. I cant smoke the standard stems. Just cant get a comfortable pack that works like a forever stem. I always end up over packing and it ruins the smoke.
The forever stems allow me to gravity fill with a light tamp or 2 and the draw is perfect. I know alot of guys hate the tight draw on a forever stem, but I just cant smoke without it. Too open and I just get hot air and no smoke. Too tight and I burn my mouth and the bowl gets to hot. Draw on the forever stems is perfect and makes it so I feel no need to buy more briars. I just load up on different shaped cobs, switch my forever stems between them and save a fortune.
For the record a Danish bit with a 3mm Savinelli Adapter gets you in the ballpark. Just need to pack a bit tighter and it works.

I’ve never bent the plastic MM bits, but Vulcanite and acrylic will bend easily with a heat gun. I imagine the MM bits would as well.
Nice looking cobs
I like your home-made bent stems. Looks much better than the MM bent stems. I will give that a try next time I order some.
Heat them slowly, they soften easily.?Nice looking cobs
I have a question about how to get a tight forever stem to fit into the shank of my already smoked legend. I just got the stem and it came with a little card that said to smoke it witch will fix the fit.
My question is, do I get the tight stem in as far as I can and then smoke it, and once it's hot/moist push it in the last 1/4 of an inch where it's stuck now? OR do I smoke it with the old stem in it, and then once it's hot change the stems?

Well that worked like a charm! Thanks Embers!
I must confess I didn’t have pure beeswax I had a knob of archery bow string wax, a mix of beeswax and pine resin. Worked great!
Was very upset to find out that they've closed their business.
I was jut about to buy a "Filtered Style Nose Warmer".
So if anyone has a spare one (color in not important in these circumstances) and would agree to let it go - please, kindly PM me.
