Nice Bolt Action Pens Peter.
Excellent Blanks, Nicely Segmented, Fitted and Finished.
Congratulations,
Brian.

Really like that segmenting concept, it's interesting without going overboard. I may have to try and borrow that idea :biggrin:

Looks like a bolt-action pen done right to me!

 

[Peter Bester]

Thank you Brain.

Joe Ill send you pics on how I did my cuts for the segments.

Very nice segmenting job. You are right on target with those pens!

 

[rd_ab_penman]

Nicely done.
Noticed you didn't re-orientate the bolt handel so the bolt action works like a real right handed bolt action rifle?

Nice set of pens. Interesting segmenting concept.

Even though this would be technically correct, it is easier to use the pen right-handed the way you have it.

I like that segmentation as well!

Is it possible to reorient the bolt after assembling the pen?

Yes Bob,
You remove the Nose Cone and Refill.
You need a Long Thin Shafted Phillips Screwdriver, that will fit through the Nib Cone Holder, and reach the Screw in the Bolt Mechanism.
You do not have to remove the screw just loosen it.
You can Rotate the Bolt Handle, through 180 deg.
Tighten the Screw with the Bolt Handle in the New Position.
Partial unscrew the Firing Cap, on the the Finial, disengage the Clip from it's Holding Slot, Rotate it though 180 deg, to the new Holding Slot, Push it into the slot by applying Pressure on the Clip Bend, when in it's position, Hold it while you Tighten the Firing Cap.
Refit the Refill and Nose Cone
Your Bolt will be Pointing Down, on the Right Hand Side, with the Clip on top of the Pen.

Hope this is adequate.
Brian.

Bob, just unscrew to bullet nib, remove the refill and use a Philips #0 screwdriver to loosen the set screw, turn the bolt handle and re-tighten the set screw. You will have to move the clip 180* as well.

I like the blank segmenting you have done. Unique and different from anything else I have ever saw. Good fit and finish also. Nicely done. Curious though. One pen has the nib extended even though the bolt is retracted. Is the spring missing or is there another issue?Thanks for sharing your work.

Certainly No Sawdust in your Eye's Ronald.
You spotted that one Well and Truly. :wink:
Congratulations,
