30-06 Bolt Action

Thought I would try and convert on of my rifle cartridge pens I make from a Twist Action to a Bolt Action.
Had to drill and tap the casing primer pocket and cut threads to match on the Bolt Section to thread the
Bolt section into the casing head.
Modified the Cross refill and couple of Parker refill springs.
A work still in progress.

Interesting concept :) I just wonder about the leftovers ? makes it a slightly more expensive pen than normal for a bolt action , but I like it :) Cheers ~ John

Looks great Les. I like that better than the standard bolt action kit.

Well done Les, I like it.

John,

The cost of the casing and projectile works out to $1.50 which is cheaper than any pen blanks available making the completed pen less expensive than the normal completed bolt action.

Great stuff Les, like them a lot. I saw something very similar recently on Abom79 YouTube channel.


Thx
Jon
