For a customer who wanted 7 with Cross refills and 7 with Parker refills to be engraved.
Casing and projectiles polished and applied 6 coats of automotive lacquer to prevent tarnishing using my "Dipping Method".

Very old thread this I know but can I ask what .50 cal kit this is as it looks much better than some others I've seen.

Thanks, I have seen those kits but prefer the silver tipped bullet rather than a turned insert. I have seen a tutorial showing how to drill a bullet out etc but again they didn't look as nice!

Thanks for that Les, I'll have to have a good read through the building a .50 cal pen PDF I downloaded.
