303 British Bullet Pens

[BigShed]

Was asked by a customer to make some pens from once fired 303 British caliber shells, apparently he shot a trophy with some of those. This was some time ago and they were heavily tarnished and pitted, he also asked me not to "pretty them up" too much.

Onc is all brass with two 303 shells and a copper slimline clip, the other is with one of my camo blanks and a copper Euro clip and cap, as well as the primer end of another shell.

Hope he will be happy.

Oh yes, the British 303. Comfortable gun to shoot,and low recoil. You just had to be careful when you loaded it because it was a rimmed cartridge if you pushed the rounds straight down into the clip the rim of the top bullet would get caught behind the rim of the lower bullet causing the gun to jam. My brother explained this to me through tear filled eyes because he watched a monster bull moose walk away as he was reloading his rifle.
Nice pens
