I have made several bullet pens using real cases and bullets. I typically do not go for kit versions, however, PSIs Bolt Action Bullet pens look very intriguing so I thought I would try them out.
There is probably not another pen easier to build. With only one barrel and the finial end pre-assembled , folks looking for a challenge will be sorely disappointed but for the beginner it doesn't get much easier.
The quality of the kit is outstanding, at least for now, can't speak for long term durability but the way the parts are built they should last forever. The finial end is extremely heavy material, almost like a section of a real rifle barrel dressed up as a receiver & bolt.
I assemble these three in probably less then 2 hours but I wasn't timing and wasn't in a hurry.
Take a look, all comments are appreciated.
The Gun Metal one is dressed in Marble Wood
The Gold - Cocobolo
The Chrome - A freebee blank from Wood-n-Whimsies.(forget the name)
Only issue I could find that I thought was odd more then a fault was that the kit uses an odd size brass tube or at least one I haven't run across before. It is not 10mm nor is it 3/8".
