Slimline in Aqua, the acrylic kept cracking, so I'm not giving it it's intended recipient. Another is in the process of being made

And a .50 bullet pen in molten metal acrylic

It's not chrome. 50 cal brass case. One that I know has been fired, as I fired it 10 years ago and kept the casing! (I did buy the kit for the inserts!)

Nice one Adam. Having fired the 50cal gives is a lot of provenance. Was it from a Barret Light?

It was from a MacMillan bolt action Paul, although fired the barret light. Nothing light about it! The original case housed an armour piercing incendiary round (don't ask how I got to shoot one as a 15 year old!)

A 50 can hit a target 2k away and more in the right hands! I managed a melon the other side of a car at a mile after about 3 goes. There was a nice big hole the size of a melon in the engine block after firing that beast!

However, the pen is more a display piece. Not particularly easy to write with!

They are I'm sure very nice but I cant see the pens properly in the photo the green pen is partly lost and blends into the black and the 50 cal the brass is glaring and the part you turned looks to be wood but well I just cant see it properly sorry to be so negative Im sure they are very nice just the photos dont do them justice
