.30-06 Pen
A Limited Edition Product
This unique, ball-point pen is hand crafted by John McFarland of Silver Fox Pens, who usually makes pens out of exotic woods with semi-precious stone inlays. He made these exclusively for UniqueTek. Now John has crafted a few more pens using the venerable .30-06 Springfield cartridge. He gave me only a couple of these unique pens along with a few of his Turquiose and Quartz pens. I expect them to sell out as quickly as the original 7mm Magnum Pens he made for us back in August!
Each pen is assembled from two brass cartridge cases. The pen tip is a .30-06 Springfield case and the top is a 243 Winchester case. To extend or retract the pen tip, just twist the two cases in oposite directions.
The business end of the pen is actually a real FMJ bullet crimped into the .30-06 case mouth. John uses a single stage reloading press and crimp die that he got just for making these pens.
The brass is uncoated and will develop a unique patina with time and handling. If you like it shiny, it is easily polished with any quality brass polish. Just don't be tempted to toss it into your vibratory polisher!
The solid brass pocket clip is styled like a rifle for added detail.
