My 2nd Amendment Pen

[ribanett]

The Second Amendment to The Constitution of The United States:

"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall no be infringed".


A local chapter of the VFW asked me to design a pen that they could sell as their 2nd Amendent Pen.

This is what I designed

That is a great pen, I would add the rifle clips to make it really shout 2nd Amendment. Just my $.02

Good point, I'll ask the VFW if I can change it.

Thanks

[bitshird]

YES! great pen.

 

[Jim15]

Super looking pens.

 

[Bree]

Cool! I would love to have one of those in my AR's carry bag in case I have to write something while I am at the range!! That would be neat.
:wink::wink::wink:

 

[OldGrumpy]

It is very good

Like someone's earlier idea of adding the rifle clips.

 

[Stevej72]

Love it, very nicely done!

 

[rjwolfe3]

Man those are sweet. I wonder if you could get "2nd Amendment" lasered on the brass?

 

[johnnycnc]

Great looking combo, Larry!

 

[papaturner]

Awesome! Job well done.

 

[DustyDenim]

I give it two thumbs up along with the 2nd amendment saying.

A differeing opinion here...don't cheapen it with the rifle clip! Right now, the pens look very classy. Personally, the rifle clips look really cheesy to me but that is just my opinion so don't anyone shoot me for voicing it!

 

[jeffnreno]

I like them just the way they are. Terrific looking pens.

 

[jbostian]

Great looking pens. I think the rifle clip would be a great addition to those pens.

What's the top bit? Neck from some other case, or a custom-turned piece?

Nice one Larry

I think you should have 2 types of pen 1 as they are and the second with the riffle clips. Some people like them some people think they are too much.

I have to agree. Offering them with or without the rifle clip would increase the sales opportunities.

It's certainly doable. I've laser-marked lots of cartridges.

Joe,
I made the first tops out of .308 cases, but tapering the tenon to fit the piece takes too much time, and cut a little-check the fit, cut a little-check the fit, yah yah yah got old real quick. Now I make them from 1/2" casing brass round stock.

It's certainly doable. I've laser-marked lots of cartridges.

Eric,
I talked to my engraver, she said that laser engraving metal takes a special setup that she doesn't have. I put the idea to the board of the VFW.


Thanks guys for your comments. I put the idea of the rifle clip to the board of the VFW, will wait for their replay.

Myself, right now have mixed thoughts about it.

I talked to my engraver, she said that laser engraving metal takes a special setup that she doesn't have.

Actual engraving of metal DOES take a special laser. Regular CO2 lasers don't produce a wavelength that will affect metals - they just absorb the energy and get warm. Laser marking, on the other hand, is a process in which a pigment is heat-bonded to the metal using a CO2 laser. It takes a special (and expensive) chemical compound, but it produces a dark black mark that is very durable on most metals.
