    Default Mini Bolt action Pens

    Here are a few Mini Bolt Action pens that I managed to do up over the weekend. I have managed to get hold of a reasonable amount and decided to put 7 of them together and see what they looked like and what you all thought of them ?

    I look forward to your comments as usual.

    Cheers Ian

    Yes Troy I agree with you I have used many a Fred (big shed) blank and they are the best by far When it comes to any sort of my bullet pens the ones that have freds blanks on them are the first to go.

    Cheers Ian

    Ian should have photographed with a standard for comparison in size. they look good I like the Gun Metal it looks darker than the standard one and Gold I am not a fan of the Chrome. The blanks all look good too.

    Ian, when you say mini, do they still take the parker refill ? , if so I guess they have drilled out the plunger to allow the refill to go back inside it Might be good for smaller hands as well cheers ~ John

    No John they take the mini refill the same as a teachers pen or Mini key ring pen but I have bought some of the refills to go with them so they should go well

    Bought them from overseas and have more than a few spare if you are interested ? they use the same size bushes as the full size bolt action pen.

    Les has posted a thread with a comparison photo just today.
    I think they look just great. I like the idea of the smaller size as I think the full size pens look a bit oversize. Hopefully we will be able to get these locally soon.
