First Carrtidge Pen

BigShed · Feb 18, 2009

Made my first cartridge pen today using 2 .308 shells and a .308 hollow point bullet.

Top shell was cut on the metal lathe and homebrew black PR blank turned to fit. Clip and finial from a satin copper slimline kit.

Must say I enjoyed making this pen, it was quite a bit of work, including making up some custom bushes, but it was very satifying to make an almost "kitless" pen.

Have to do something about my lighting setup though

Nice looking pen Fred. You sure went the hard route for your first cartridge, but it came out looking really nice.
