first try at a cartridge pen

[Rick_G]

First try at a cartridge pen. Cartridge is a 338 winchester that had been fired. Almost a perfect fit for the 8mm euro. Had to take about 1/8 inch off the cartridge at the nose end. 5 minute epoxy inside the cartridge and a little tape to hold the nib centered while everything hardened worked wonders. Ti gold euro kit and the cap is deer antler. It will be a gift to one of the hunters in the area who gave me the shell, and 3 small antler racks.

Nice job, good looking pen. Get used to making them, when your buddy's friends see it, they will want one.

Could of done without the center band. But it is a really nice pen. Nice work.

Nice Job. I have made 6 cartridge pens so far and everyone has a home. I haven't tried the scratch way yet I am still on the kit way. Keep Up the Good Work.

Nice pen for your first try,

Round top Euro 8mm seems like a good fit for that cartridge.
Nice job Rick.
