At work now
Will pm you tonite hopefully

I do like the Safer Option. Im curious how an empty 50 cal shell can be used to make a Pen.
Would you need to use part of a Pen Kit i.e. Slimline/Streamline or other????? If this is top secret I don't mind if you don't share the info. I may be able to obtain some empty shells and wouldn't mind giving it a try. Love the forum. Kind Regards

You can buy brand new 50cal cartridge cases from ADI (Australian Defence Industries ) aka Thales.

Found this old post, thought I would add to it as a heads up
I ordered some odds and ends from wood n whims
Also 10 50cal used cases
Costums got hold of my pascal and have kept the cases, something about a permit
Live rounds/ firearms I could understand but used cases.?
Not a real happy camper at the moment

Interesting, I have bought some of those from Wood N Whimsies as well, twice, and haven't had a problem.

As I understand the law it is not illegal to import "brass" as long as they are not primed.

I would be lodging an objection and asking them to show you the relevant regulation.

I have actually contacted ADI, and they sent me a list of their Oz resellers, but I haven't done anything about it. Don't know pack sizes and costs etc. The advantage there would be that it would be new brass, not once fired.
