Here are some pens made as a donation from Greasythumb. They are Cotton Stalk. The brass are .30-06 bottoms with .45 automatic tops. The ends are jeweled. Thank you Mr. Greasythumb. Had a blast with the blanks.
Starting from scratch. The casings come from a friend. The parts were ordered separately and not in kits (not sure about the wisdom in doing that). The .45 cal were a lucky find. My brother in law gave me a tumbler and when I opened it there were about 100 .45 cal casings. Most of them were Winchester.
