    Default 30-06 key ring Pen

    I had an order for a keyring bullet pen , so loosely based on "Les's version) I came up with this one using a credit card key ring kit . This allows a standard mini refill to be supplied with the kit . Looks better than the picture as it is highly polished ,and not like the picture at all I think my projectile is a lot shorter as well as I had to drill out for a 7 mm tube to get the length for the refill , a fun exercise cheers ~ John

    I normally do batches of bullets and the like so powdercoating is cost effective, this was a bit of a rush job,just finished this morning and needed tomorrow so it's as is just polished and then some autosol metal polish,which does seem to put a protective coating on ,at least for the short term Just have to be hands on with the polish when needed hehe.
