looking good Woody, However, just noticed a little "off square" that is very unusual for you, do you have a problem with the squaring jig mate ?. Just a thought

Hi Terry just drill first with a centre drill and then a 7mm hole in the bottom of a 308 case and insert yout 7mm tube the case is the same length all you may need is a bit if venier as a spacer in the bullet end and then fit the nib end and the mechanism the top half as you can see is straightforward

Beaut choice Woody scrabbling around in a large box of sundries I bought to help out a mate who gave up turning there are three packs of fifty cartridges in amongst them so my mind was turning to them again.

You should do well at auction mate that pen has quire a narrative to go with it as well wish you well love the pen.
