Rifle Cartridge Pens

These pens incorporate a rifle cartridge in their design I at present do several different calibers everything from a 7.62x39 to a 50cal but can most any cartridge. I commonly use deer antler water buffalo horn or camouflage acrylics for the top half of the pens but I can of course use other materials as requested.

.303 British, or 7.7x56mmR, is a .303-inch (7.7 mm) calibre rifle and machine gun cartridge first developed in Britain as a blackpowder round put into service in December 1888 for the Lee-Metford rifle, later adapted to use smokeless powders. It was the standard British and Commonwealth military cartridge from 1889 until the 1950s when it was replaced by the 7.62x51mm NATO.
The .303 cartridge has seen much sporting use with surplus military rifles, especially in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and to a lesser extent, in the United States and South Africa. In Canada, it was found to be adequate for any game except the great bears.
