I started making a bullet pen using some old kits and some scrap brass and a .50 shell.

I don't have actual bullet tips so I used one from psi that threads onto a fitting that pushes in.

And it is for a parker style ink and I was using a cross style ink. So I filled the inside of the tip with milliput epoxy to keep it from being loose when you write with it.

As it was drying, I stuck the ink tip down in through the putty to seat it. It worked great.

Then I made a center ring to hold the forward bullet part to the shell. No pics. Too dirty.
Then I cleaned up the shell and hammered the opening round...

Then I had to set the tube back into blank to account for the press fit tip...

Then cut and turned it to size to fit the shell...
That worked great. I used medium ca to glue it in. All set.

And finished up...

Great result on that one! That blank is sweet, what is it?
