    Default Nice order for some Bullet Pens

    Had a request from a customer for 10 Bullet Pens, but he wasn't sure what he wanted.

    All he stipulated was they could only use .308 cartridges.

    In the end I made 15 different ones and let him choose.

    I need to have a closer look so if you send them to me I may send them back or maybe not. They all look good to me.

    Great looking line up. Your photography is equal to your pens fit and finish...Flawless.
    And I'm betting you didn't get to keep any of them.

    I think he may have taken 15 too... great batch of pens. What centreband are you using for the .308's?
    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    All very nice but #11 does it for me
    Cheers Rum Pig

    It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

    I asked you this on the Iap site but you may have missed it. Where did you get the copper rifle and do you put any type finish on the brass?? Thanks and thanks for showing. All look really well done. Tough choices.

    Great range of styles, the client would be mad not to take the lot.

    Sorry, yes I did miss that!

    The copper rifle clips, as well as the chrome and gold, came from our very own David Lim at Timberbits

    He also sells the Streamline centre bands.

    All the pens are unfinished, or "army". May at some stage powder coat some, although the feed back I get is that people like the unfinished brass look, particularly when it tarnishes a bit. Gives it a bit of character.
