'Hasta la vista, baby'

[greeneyedblackcat]

This one is a stainless and corian 12 gauge shotgun. To write with it you "rack the slide" and the pen tip emerges. I used a clicker transmission from a Bic Clic pen. I'm going to let you gun guys figure out who's make and model I copied. Hope you like this one it took me a while to make.>>>>>>>>Jim K -------------Edit: I removed the horrible pictures and took some better ones in the daylight.

Jim, Don't stop!!!! I turn wood pens too, everyone has their own niche. You guys make some amazing pens that would blow my wooden pens away. I have always been a metal guy until one of my friends introduced me to "Making Pens" now I'm addicted. If a "Metal guy" can make wooden pens why cant a "wood guy" make metal pens I am willing to help anyone that wants to venture out to the dark side (Aka the metalworking side) As a famous band once said , Free your mind and the rest will follow.:biggrin:

That is truly a great piece of work. As far as the shotgun you modeled after, Remington 870?

 

[BLLEHMAN]

Once again, beautiful work!

Wow you come up with awesome stuff. I am thinking of buying a metal lathe with my next tax return (unless I find a good used one before then) so I will take you up on your offer.

Jim, this time I refuse to look!!:ghost::ghost::ghost: Well, maybe a peek. :biggrin:

 

[markgum]

That is really neat.

 

[RHossack]

by the shape of the receiver my first inclination is that it is a Mossberg 500 with a riot barrel (cruiser) and 6 shots. had a similar one for Rolling Thunder Matches.

Fantastic work Jim . You take kitless to a whole new level !!!

 

[Ligget]

WOW!! As always, I am blown away (pun intended) with that piece of work, just amazing my friend!

 

[workinforwood]

Well done!

 

[Jim15]

Outstanding work.

 

[mickr]

Outstanding guess, it is patterned after a stainless Mossberg cruiser.

This pen is mightier than the sword.

That is cool !

Fantastic work on that pen. I just picked up another Mossberg 500 that was allowed to sit in a damp basement for a while. Now the fun part of stripping and refinishing comes, but not too bad for a free shotgun(with both stocks).

Rob, buy that sucker, we can get U up to speed on the metal lathe in no time flat.

Very cool piece!
Lots of work there, for sure.
Reminds me of a S&W 12GA I had when younger.

Nice "pen" you have there. I just want to watch the reactions of security at the airport when you try to board their really big plane.

What ? They don't like cool pens at the airport ? I guess I will just have to UPS my pens to myself at the next away from home pen show.:biggrin:

Actually not to hard when you own one of them <G>

I'm amazed at your craftsmanship ...
