I am new to this forum, my name is Svein Viland and I am located in Norway.
My aim is to find the required parts for making pens from bullet cartridges, and in particular .50 cal (12.7mm).
Is there anybody in this group that can recommend the required parts (except the cartridge) and where to...
I do .308 bullet pens and a guy that bought 2 asked if I could make one from his .243 cases, I knew the slimline would need some jiggling about as the 7 mm tube wont fit through the .243 or 6mm, the guy sent me some antler as I had suggested he send me a case and antler from a stalking trip he...

I have downloaded the instructions from the Tutorials section for making Firearms pens. I have laid out the parts and it appears the lower section ie. the bullet and the case will be shorter that the 7mm tube. This means the 7mm tube will be sticking out the end of the bullet case which in turn...
I use DeWalt bullet point drills and like them a lot. I find they don't wander as easily and tend not to chip out the bottom as much.
I would like to use them for my new foray into turning pens.
I'm having trouble finding the difinitive drill set for pen turning. Metric sizes seem to be an...

Hi,
I made my first bullet pen today :-)
Although I polished with Brasso, I am sure it will eventually tarnish/discolour :-(
Is it possible/worthwhile applying a finish that keeps the shine?
I read about 'Everbrite' but it is American and is it suitable?
Advice please would be great :-)
TIA...
Well it may be old hat to some but i am giving it a go....
Some may know i like to play with bullet cases and have had reasonable success....but i am now trying to do bullet case pens from scratch.....using once fired brass cases and real bullet heads
I have always bought things to make these...

So I've been casting PR for a couple of months with so great results but I was getting annoyed at how brittle it was (I need a more robust product).
So I bit the bullet and bought a pressure pot, compressor along with some clear polyurethane resin and a shed load of mica colors
I feel like a...
