Here's my first attempt at the bullet pen . Sorry about the photo, the light was all wrong. I've used a piece of the burr I bought at Turners last weekend and copper pen parts, though I realised after I'd glued it all together that I hadn't used the rifle clips I'd bought specially for these. I also found that the small bush for a Sedona pen was the perfect diameter required so that saved me making two.

The best way to make the bushings is to cut the primer end of two case and dill the out to 1/4

That's a cracking pen Ray. :thumbs:
I've never done any of the bullet pens. Really must do something to address that II've got some blanks I'd like to try on these:thinks:

Lovely Ray, you've certainly made a super job of that.

Thanks guys for all the nice comments. Paul, it's largely down to your great tutorial which was easy to follow. It was however very time consuming and took me 2 days but that was partly down to gluing and leaving over night so in reality it was a full day. Hopefully the next one won't take so long as all the pieces I had to make like bushes are already made. :thumbs:

Yep, you cracked it Ray, it doesn't look bad with the copper clip to be honest .. :thumbs:
