Cigar Kit With a 7mm Finial
I wanted to be able to make my Rifle Cartridge pens using a Parker refill along with a 7mm Round Top Finial. This is what I came up with using a Wheatherby 300 Magnum and a Deer antler cap.
It's too bad that you can't buy Cigar kits that use a 7mm finial, maybe some day.

Looks nicely balanced Les, I think it adds to the value if you can supply the bullet pens with parker refills , I would sell ten of these to one of the kit ones,just something about an authentic bullet is more appealing it seems ,and does show up its hand crafted origins

G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

Nice work again Les but I have a a dumb question. Looks like you used a cigar adapter? then cigar mechanism ? so obviously top tube is more than 7mm so how do you then use the 7mm finial/end cap in the other end.
This is style of pen I have been wanting to make for some time now.
Cheers Ian

I might not be great lover of bullet pens, but I am an admirer of the quality of work Les does. Beautifully turned Les and colour perfect match.
