I was sorting through some reloading gear yesterday, sorting out the junk and found alot of brass that couldn't be reloaded anymore. Even though I'm new to pen turning, I remembered reading an article on making pens from spent brass. So after refreshing myself with the procedures I decided to give it a try. Here's what I ended up with as my prototype. I used a .243 Win. case fitted with a 100 gr. Serria Spitzer boattail bullet. The upper barrel is from some cherry I had laying around fitted with Titanium Nitride hardware for a PSI slimline kit I had. Being new to this and not thinking through it all, the upper barrel assembly came up short, due to the case's short length the transmission couldn't be seated very deep. I should have left some extra material on the upper barrel bored over to slip down over the transmission. However I think I kinda like this look though because you can see the stamping on the bottom of the case. I have lots more old brass to play with so I'll post my progress. I welcome at tips, trick, comments etc. I know alot of people comment on picture quality, sorry I only have a cheap digital camera.
