Bolt Action Pens

Here are a few ink pens I have been making. They are called " Bolt action pens ". The tip is designed like a .30cal bullet, the end cap is a primer, the shirt clip is a rifle with a scope on it, and the mechanism is a bolt, just like on a bolt action rifle. The first one is made of Bubinga wood and a gun metal finish, and the second is Zebra wood and a chrome finish. I am thinking of listing these for sale on the forum, just wanted to see what ya'll thought of them first. Thanks.

Mighty nice looking...what kind of pricing would you be talking about???

Neat looking pens. Let me know when you start cranking them out. I want a few.

The price on the Bolt Actions are $35, which I find fairly resonable, being that they sell on Ebay for $40-$45 plus $5 for shipping. I can make them in several different finishes and different woods.

Finishes:

Gun metal, chrome, 24k Gold, and Black Enamel

Woods:

Canary, Yellowheart, Purple Heart, Mesquite, Coco Bola, Bocote, Zebra wood, Bubinga, Bois' Darc, Long Leaf Old Grove Pine, Red Cedar, Oak, Maple, and a few others.

General turn(pun intended) around time is roughly 2-3 weeks. I need to figure out what it will cost me to ship a pen, before I can give shipping cost. As soon as I can get some quality pics, I will post them. Thanks for your interest.

those are pretty cool

Thanks!!

can you make one out of antler and if so give me a price

Those are awesome!

Nice

pretty impressive

Those are very unique. If you list them I'd buy one for $35.

Thanks again everyone! About the antler.... HAHA. I have done one, and do NOT like doing them, and it's not because of the smell either. Antler varies from piece to piece, one might have more pithing than another, one might be softer, more spongy. I can never guarantee the outcome of one. The one I did turn, I didn't even finish making the pen; the pithing (spongy looking stuff) was so bad, you could see through it, and see the brass tube. Not only that, they are not very stable, and can split and chip out in the final processes. If, I were to do another one, I would have to charge at least $10 more than normal pricing.

And yes, these pens are refillable. They take a standard refill (not zebra size), that can be found at most stores.

i like them .. good job

Sign me up as well when you start making theme

Nice work! I really like that!

Thanks guys!! If I were to list them for sale on here, just list them in the general classified section? And is there a way I can link up my PayPal account? Thanks. (Sorry, I have been away from here for a while, we had twins last May.)

You could put them in the non hunting section probably. I dont think there is a way to link with paypal. The purchaser would need your paypal ID which is usually an email address linked to your account. Then they send you the payment and then you ship it out.

Thanks @ Panch0!! I think I have it down now, I also had a friend explain it to me at my shop. Thanks again.

Let me figure out what shipping will be, and I will post pricing tomorrow. Thanks again for all the great comments and strong interest.

wow, awesome looking. I'd like one too. PM me when they are up if you remember.

Like what you have done.

I'd buy one

Those are awesome!!!

VERY COOL WORK

Thanks guys! I really appreciate all the kind comments, and I will PM the guys interested in buying them as soon as I find out what shipping is going to be tomorrow. I also forgot to mention that I offer laser engraving! It really needs to be alphanumerical, because the diameter of the pen isn't very big, and a logo wouldn't show much detail and would be crammed into itself. Here are a couple of pens that I made and had engraved for a few customers.

Me too!

pretty neat good luck with making them I think they look great

i will take one. PM me when you are ready to produce them.

That's awesome

Thanks guys!! I have some shipping information, and will be selling these now. I am moving them over to the classified section, and will PM the guys that were interested on here as well. Thanks again!!

I'll be looking for your PM, already got my order defined!

All PM's sent. Thanks guys!!

Great looking pens! I have a hunting buddy retiring soon and one of those would be a perfect gift.

Thanks. Just let me know when you're ready!

Great looking pens! Any hunter would be proud to have one. They would give him more reason to day dream about hunting.

that really is great idea. they look awesome

looks good. We sell similiar ones in the shop.

Thanks!!

Those look great....you ever thought about using deer antler in place of the wood?

Thanks!! Here is my response to this question earlier.
