Title: Found some very interesting pens...
Post by: Bidah on February 23, 2009, 09:22:03 AM

My wife actually found them, and then ordered.  If you look at the site, he makes pens with .308 and .30-06 casings; plus the real bullets.  These look neat.  I just thought I would share with my friends.. :)

I am not sure I could get it through the airport security though...

Bidah, neato pens. Tks for the link. There is something in human DNA that makes us collectors. People focus on some material thing and get fixated on it. Besides guns I have a classic case of "collector fever" for unusual pens. I picked up one of these "tactical" pens a couple of years ago....I just love nicely machined "tools". I have not had a single TSA rent a cop say a word about it. Just throw it in the bin with my wallet and watch. Goes right through. I feel better that I have something on the plane with me.

But why would you want one of those when you can have "perfection"

I have a very similar bullet pen, but with 30-30 cartridges.
