Some .303 Bullet pens

[BigShed]

Haven't posted any pens for a while.

These bullet were made before Christmas for some markets and were the first time I used .303 cal rifle cartridges with a Parker refill.

The first one with a black acrylic/brass accent centre band

With a 303 primer end as centre band - Navy Camo

With a 303 primer end as centre band - bought acrylic blank

Excellent Pens Fred,
Like the use of a primer end as a Centre Band, balances the look of the Pen.
I am suprised that a shed snake skin would be suitable for casting, I have always thought of them as very fragile. Live and Learn.
Your Fit and Finish is excellent
Great work.
Brian.

Thanks Brian, yes I agree the primer end as centre band gives a balanced look.

The shed snake skin blanks are made by a member of Woodwork Forums in Oz, Nai84, he does a great job.

Sorry I missed these first time around Fred. Love what you're doing with the cartridges. Cool looking pens.

They all look amazing. Like the different variety of attractive blanks that go very well with the kits. My favorite is the snake skin.
