30-06 Twist Pen / Key Ring
Made using a 30-06 casing, 30 Caliber FMJ Bullet Nib, Cross refill and a Gold Detachable Key Ring Kit.
The Bullet Nib twists to extend and retract the refill.
As always comments and or suggestions appreciated.
Thanks for looking.

Les, nice work... did you cut down the refill yourself or is it a size you can buy off the shelf in the States?
It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

I don't have a metal lathe and do all my metal work on my 10" Delta Midi Wood lathe.
I am working on a tutorial.
