Ian,

These instructions do not detail how to make the cartridge, but they do show a couple of general approaches for completing a pen with cigar kit components.

There's ALOT of things that I do differently now that I have more experience but this tutorial will give you a good foundation. It has a Cigar in there somewhere.:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Thanks Eric and Rick for your help I hope to get into making some parker style refill Bullet pens instead of cross style pens.

Cheers Ian

Hello Eric and Rick I have a couple of questions for you both so I hope you can help.
Eric I have read and read your tutorial and I am wondering with regards to inserting the cigar tube into the casing does that mean I will have to drill out a large hole big enough to take the tube or do they already have that big of a hole in them I may sound stupid but I am not aware of these casings and I am only use to doing the basic cross style in .308 anything you can offer to help me would be appreciated.

Rick. I am having trouble loading your page I am unaware if it is just me or others aswell. Also anything else you can offer would be great.

Cheers Ian

Ian,

Yes, to accept a cigar kit tube, the case head needs to be drilled out with a 25/64" bit.

Regards,
Eric

Cheers Ian
