"Real" Bullet Pens
|
So, my family owns a couple of gun shops, the original is in in Fort Lauderdale, FL,
and the newest is in Castle Rock, CO. Can you think of a better place to sell bullet pens? I do send several unique items to each shop, so they can sell my items in the store. Since most of my pens are one-of-a-kind, I can't have them for sale on my website and in the shops at the same time, so they may say "Temporarily Unavailable" on this site. If you see one that you really want, please don't hesitate to contact me, and if the item is still available, I can have them ship it to you directly, or make you another one, depending on how rare the material was in the first place. Check out their websites by clicking on the Action Firearms links below. No pens on their sites, just a whole bunch of awesome! |

"Real" Bullet Pens
The following pens are made from real bullet casings, and some have real bullets for the tip.
The metal on some of these pens is typically brass that has not been plated, and will therefore not have the polished shine that the plated pens on this page possess. The majority of the shells have actually been fired, and ejected from the weapon, so many have small scratches and dings that add to the character of the pen. Other pens have been powder coated as described below. Of course, all the bullets are not live and perfectly safe.
Sold Items
I have left many of my sold or temporarily unavailable items on my website so
you can see what is available. If you see something anywhere on my website that is
either sold or unavailable, please don't hesitate to ask if another one can be made.
I will be happy to custom make one for you!

NEW!!!
Powder coated real rifle shells in various colors!
Each shell is machined to fit the various pen parts, coated with an electrostatically charged powder, and then heated to 400 degrees to bond the powder to the metal.
The result is a very hard and durable coating that should last for years.
The color you see here may be a different shade in person due to differences in color and
resolution on your monitor,however, I am certain that you will be very happy with the final product!
Pens as well as mechanical pencils are available separately, or as a matching desk set.
All of the bullet shell pens are fully customizable, so if you want a specific color,
with a specific metal finish, please don't hesitate to ask!
All .308/.308 pens can be made into a mechanical pencil as well as a twist pen.
Unfortunately, the 30-06 shells can not be made into a pencil.
Please note: These shells have been previously fired, and may have scratches, dings and even extractor marks on them, most evident on the clear coated pens. If you are looking for a "blemish free" pen, please let me know before ordering, and I will make every effort to find the best shells possible.
If any of the powder coated bullet pens says "Out of Stock" when you try to purchase them,
please go to the "Build Your Own" section where you will be able to make one to your specifications.
EVEN NEWER!!!
L to R: Burnt Bronze, Crushed Silver, USMC Red, Stormtrooper White, NRA Blue, Graphite Black, Jesse James Cold War Grey.

Please feel free to e-mail me with questions.
Unless you request something silly, price should still be $35 each plus shipping.
(Choosing two 30.06 shells results in a cartoonishly long pen, that is not aesthetically pleasing, and I would not recommend.)

Please e-mail me with any questions about laser engraving.
***All pen tips are now replica bullets, and not the pointed ones shown in some of the pictures***
