bolt action pen kits any good?

[taandctran]

I haven't made alot of pens lately but I am intrigued by the "bolt action" pen kits. Are they made of good quality stuff and do they go together good? thanks for the help!

I am not a fan of Penn State products but I have done a couple of the bolt actions and I think they are a good kit.

They are good kits. Do a search. There has been a lot of discussion about them on here.

i like the kits but the clip seems flimsy and I'm nervous about them breaking off if you try to pocket clip them. Other than that they seem solid.

They're my most popular seller on Facebook. I've had one failure, but that was when pressing it together: the coupler between the end piece and the "bullet" failed under pressure. PSI replaced it quickly. I've had a few bullet tips with scratches or mars, but PSI has replaced them, too.

Urban camouflage and deer antler are big sellers on the gun metal finish pen.

They are pretty good kits!

I've made a few and they seem pretty solid to me.

I like you have done very well in selling my bolt action pens. Over all it has been a good seller.
I hate to add a question but I will, I have a request for several pens to be sent to our troops and they have requested to change the clip to a medical clip. As you know it will not fit the clips I have on hand. Any suggestion?
Thanks

Bolt action medical? That would be rather contradictory, wouldn't it? Medics carry a sidearm, but generally aren't "fighters".

People want what they want.

Bolt action pen is an easy assembly, two parts and done.
Sold all I had at my last show in March. Took orders for two more.
Very popular at a gun show with some unique wood. Jack Daniels Oak, etc.

Oh yeah, I know. Just seemed rather odd to me! But hey, who am I to question the customer!??!

I also have a friend who like the action of the bolt action for clicking the pen open, but is turned off by the bullet tip and rifle clip. I was thinking of trying some mix and match on hardware to keep the bolt but mod the rest. Anyone play around with this idea before on these kits?

I haven't (just got my first ones) but if they don't like the bullet idea, you'd have to switch the both ends as it resembles a casing on the end.
