everyone wants one
"My brother saw my pen and wanted one so I made this for him. Fun to make. Added 2 coats of CA to stock to make up for the plastic. Fit great."

Lever Action
"Neat single blank pen. There are machine markings on the butt...not sure if that's deliberate but gives the rifle character. I bought the starter kit. This is the first of the batch. Expensive but cool."

Good Showpiece
"Used olivewood and the prefab stock. Used CA glue to mount the stock. It took an hour to clean up the mess. Next time I'll use epoxy. Too weighty to actually use it as a pen."

Buttstock tricky
"Just finished making this pen with the carbon-fiber blank. Looks serious. But... lining up the buttstock is tough. I tried the plastic liner as suggested but the glue still leaked under and around the liner. After I held it for an hour in position I broke free the buttstock and removed the plastic liner. Upon re-screwing the buttstock it screwed past the lining-up position. Sigh. I had to cut another piece of plastic to use as a spacer to get it to line up right. I think next I shall just drill a hole through the buttstock and tap it for a set-screw so I can lock in the correct position without the glue mess. If anyone comes up with a better idea to position the buttstock please post it out here. Thanks. Otherwise the barrel is a slight taper - from 0.484 at tip to 0.50 at the lever mechanism. And the lever mechanism has a firm "click" to extrude and retract and seems robust. The buttstock is solid metal and makes a nice heavy substantial feeling pen. The buttstock could be longer for a better proportional look and I would be happy if it came already drilled and tapped for a set screw. A nice set and I am waffling over giving it five stars."

Lever Action Rifle Kit
"I made a few of the Lever Action Rifle Kits yesterday. Made my own stock from (Rosewood)longer so it looks more in proportion to the rifle. I machined a template from a piece of steel to look just like the butt end of the receiver. I sanded my gun stock flush with the template I made & it fit perfect. I bought 5 of these kits & the scope fell off of the receiver on 2 of them. The scopes are glued on with epoxy & they are very fragile. I think this is going to be a problem???"

Nephews Matte Black lever action
"I made this pen as a gift. The stock was made a bit longer 1.375" because I wanted to include the rifle scabbard and the short stock would not show. The stock fitting with the plastic protection made a bad fit so I sanded the stock to fit next to the mechanism very little at a time until the fit tightened proper. This was the second one I made, so I used a thinner bag and it took less sanding. My nephew loved this pen and his wife is now wanting one. I used Burled Black Walnut I cut from a tree 30+ years ago. A bit more work for a pen but worth it when you finish."

"Great mechanism! I selected the kit without the stock, simply because it does not have the right balance to even look like the traditional lever action rifles made by companies like Winchester, Marlin and others. I decided that I would prefer to make my own stock, The first version used walnut and I finished it with tru-oil used on real gunstocks. I have used other woods and also used the same finish. this pen is a great conversation piece and probably belongs on your desk if you meet customers there often. I am attaching a couple of photos to show what I did for a stock. I really did not have a problem lining up the stocks, because I dry fitted before doing the carving. I placed the threaded insert on the mechanism, then put a small amount of epoxy in the pre drilled hole in my blank using a toothpick so I did not get too much in the hole and then flowing on to the mechanism"

Lever Action Rifle with handmade buttstock
"Turning this Lever Action Rifle Pen was fun and challenging with regards to having to handmake the buttstock to match the barrels hardwood. Mine was a Antique Pewter with Black Ebony. Tip: I do not use the threaded insert to attach the buttstock. I use pen makers CA ADHESIVE. Drilling a 7mm hole in the buttstock from hardwood does not give enough flexibility to attach the buttstock. My first attempt in press fitting the insert... the hardwood not forgiving actually cracked. So ... I reverted to applying Pen makers CA ADHESIVE. Great product !"
