Description Specifications Customer Reviews Accessories
This .50 caliber bullet cartridge pen kit will make a great gift for any outdoorsman or a military enthusiast. First developed for the Browning, a .50 caliber machine gun in the late 1910's, the cartridge used in this kit is commonly used in the military. Utilizing an authentic .50 caliber once-fired brass cartridge, a single 7mm tube, and a Cross style ballpoint mechanism, we've made it easy for you to turn this one-of-a-kind pen. You can vary the length of the turned section from 1-1/8" to 2" for a custom appearance. Overall size of the bullet pen is 5-1/2" to 6-3/8"

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Great christmas gift!
Reviewer: Corey Doner (Belleville, IL)
Submitted: 2.3.2012

Friend of mine asked me to make these as a christmas gift, for a military co-worker. I had never done a pen like this before and took the challenge. Instructions were very simple, cartridge polished up with no problems at all, was able to adjust the material to the size of the bullet I wanted, functioned perfectly when assembled, and was perfect for a guy with a big hand. Overall....Gift was a major hit!

I have just sold out of my stock in 2 days. The local tobacco shop and gun shops have decided to make them available to their customers. I use Turtle Wax polishing compound to shine these up but not to take out the scratches. My customers love that it take a Cross refill and that it is such a wonderful conversation piece.

This is a great attention getting pen. They sold quickley at craft fairs and I will be buying plenty more. The only thing that I dont like is that it can be awkward to write with but is definitely a great display piece.

Brian, I have only made one of these so far and it went fast. Matter of fact, the guy that bought it bought an over and under at the same time. I got $30 for the 50 cal and $60 for the over and under without a problem. Great buy

These are a great pen and hands down my best seller. I leave the shell the way I get it, people seem to really like the natural patina of the brass shell. Overall easy to make with a good fit.

WOW!, what an attention getter. Opened booth and first three kits were gone. Will have to order more for sure. Great profit on this one and it sells itself. Most simple kit I have ever put together.

Reviewer: DAVID PARSHLEY (Oxford, AL)

This pen is a very easy one to make, mechanism works smoothly, and it always draws attention and admiration. The shell is used and so has a ding or two from extraction as is to be expected. I suggest a little Brasso to polish it up when complete. Very nice, well-priced kit.

The 50 caliber machine gun. Bullet cartridge twist pen. is one of the easiest kits to turn. It is very popular with military personnel and looks great on a desk. It also makes a great retirement gift. The cartridge is large enough, they can be engraved with the retirement dates and location.

If I had a dollar for every time this pen has been picked up I would have made a lot of money. This pen is the first item people see at shows and draws them to our booth. I think this is a must have item, it is easy and cheap to make also.
