    Default A few Bullet Pens

    Been busy making some bullet pens for a couple of upcoming markets.

    Here are some with Parker refills, using Cigar fittings.

    First one is a 308 cartride with a 308 primer end as centre band, using one of my Jungle Camo blanks.



    Next is a 30-06 with a Navy Camo blank and a blank centre band and chrome clip



    Another 30-06 with Navy Camo and black centre band, this time with a gold clip



    30-06 with Blue Dymondwood blank and black centre band



    30-06 with Red Dymondwood and black centre band with gold trim

    Very nice arsenal there,
    your homemade camo blanks are something different, I like them!

    i was lucky to have fred drop in and visit and stay overnight and he told me a basic rundown on the process ,
    i'm not going to tell his process as he makes them as a business
    but i gotta tell you if you only knew what effort goes into making them it will give you a head ace

    nice work fred im sure they will get snapped up quickly

    Looking great Fred

    I especially like the last one where you have used a brass band near the centre, seems to match the cap really well

    Thanks all for your kind comments, must say I rather like these bullet pens with the Parker refills but they are a fair bit of work and they certainly cost more to make in actual parts as well as labour.

    So far I have made these in 4 calibres, 308, 30-06, 303 and 300 WinMag.

    I will be showing some more in the next few days.

    Yes Neil, I rather like that look as well, it is actually the band that sits behind the nib in the Cigar kit.
