I've been wanting to try this for awhile now, and I have to say, this was probably the most challenging pen I've ever done. A lot of trial and error went into it, but I turned out great. The cartridge is a 30-06 with a 150gr Hornady SP bullet. The upper half is deer antler with a Designer/Euro clip.
I have a question for you guys that have mastered making these. The bullet is pretty hollow and the mouth of the bullet is a little too large to support the ink cartridge after I remove the lead. I filled it with resin and drilled it out to work. What do you guys do? Also, do you clear coat the brass with anything to prevent it from tarnishing, or do you just leave it natural?
