Made my first cartridge pen today using 2 .308 shells and a .308 hollow point bullet.

Top shell was cut on the metal lathe and homebrew black PR blank turned to fit. Clip and finial from a satin copper slimline kit.

Must say I enjoyed making this pen, it was quite a bit of work, including making up some custom bushes, but it was very satifying to make an almost "kitless" pen.

Have to do something about my lighting setup though
