30-06 Bolt Action
Thought I would try and convert on of my rifle cartridge pens I make from a Twist Action to a Bolt Action.
Had to drill and tap the casing primer pocket and cut threads to match on the Bolt Section to thread the
Bolt section into the casing head.
Modified the Cross refill and couple of Parker refill springs.
A work still in progress.

Looks great Les. I like that better than the standard bolt action kit.

The cost of the casing and projectile works out to $1.50 which is cheaper than any pen blanks available making the completed pen less expensive than the normal completed bolt action.
