James, I do them myself.
Tom, I used a shiny silver kit on the pen.
Lou, The center band was made from Red Mallee.
Doug, I used a 308 nickel plated casing on this one. I also use 30-30, 270, 30-06. I use some others as well but they are pistol casings...and then I turn them to what I need.
The 308, 30-30, and the 270 for length fit the slimline brass tubes real good.
Thanks for all the comments.
