45 / 30-06 w/ Antler

I've been on a cartridge pen kick for a while (thanks again seamus). A friend wanted something using a .45 cal cartridge so …

Looks like a good job to me.

Cartridge pen

I like making these too, but haven't put a clip on any so far , please share how and what clip do you use and where do you get them. I just yesterday posted a picture of one of my cartridge pens , have a look...

I used a clip form a cigar pen, left over from making a 50 cal. I cut a tenon, with a 90 deg shoulder, at the top of the cap so the clip would slip down to where the 45 cartridge & antler meet. Then I made a plug fits in the 45 with a hole that fit over the tenon. A couple of drops of CA … really nothing special.

Good looking pen Jeff

Sweeney, here is a link to Wood-n-Whimsies, they carry the cigar clip(only three colors but...). I have used several of their gunmetal ones for bullet pens. It would be fairly easy to adapt the threaded finial to fit inside the 45 and then it would screw on/off. I like using the whole assembly because it makes using a Parker refill in the bullet pen much easier.

You did a great job on that, but now I challenge you to hide that clip ring just on the inside of the finial. Did you powder coat the casings?

Powdercoat

That's my next thing to try.......

I thought about a hidden clip but small steps for this old guy seem to work better … next one I'll give it a try. I did not powder coat, however I coated with a spray on lacquer that I have used with some success before.

Every time I looked at this pen I kept thinking about your challenge … kind of like trying to get an old Led Zeppelin song out of my head; so I took the blasted thing apart and reworked the cap … I'm reasonably pleased with the outcome, comments / suggestions welcome.

Clip

Yes, that is how that I was thinking of hiding the clip. looks great , thanks for the inspiration. I'll do one like it when I get back from a trip can't wait to try....
