270 Bullet pen

[Laurenr]

This one was a challenge. A friend of mine asked me to make a pen using the 270 casing, the bullet from which he shot a record elk. The problems were many, including the fact that is was a 270 magnum, and therefore didn't fit any of our available "kits." So what you have here is a bullet from a bullet-pen kit, which by the way did not fit, the 270X casing, and the cap end of a cigar pen. The cap end was done in elk antler, which as some of you know was it's own adventure.

It was fun and challenging, but mostly it is DONE!!

Good job...great pen...I'm sure your friend will enjoy it. Tell him not to fly with it.

did you use the guts from the replica pen kit or the cigar kit? I really like the way you tied that all together! Excellent execution!

 

[Laurenr]

Nib from the replica kit, guts from cigar pen kit. I filled the casing with resin and went from there.

Interesting, that is the first I've seen using that caliber(270 WSM). Good job.

Let me know if you want to try it sometime, ...I can grease the skids for you.

That is nice. I just finished three using 270 Winchester casings and bullets with the lead melted out. First time I have melted to lead out. Makes it a lot easier. I used slimline parts. They were not magnum casing.

Reminds me of the bullet a diabolical character on Smallville made to kill Superman by engraving Clark Kent on the casing. When I saw this I immediately thought it should be engraved, but not with my name on it.
