This pen represents one of the most popular gun-styles in the USA. The individual details of the pen create stylistic authenticity in homage to these rifles: The pen tip: Represents the Picatinny rail of the rifle. The tip is CNC machined from solid Aluminum, consistent with true semi-auto rifle materials for a lightweight, ergonomic design. The muzzle brake or "compensator", which redirects exploding gunpowder gases and counters recoil, is located at the tip of our pen. The pen cap end: Is inspired by the rifle's lower-receiver. This is the part of the gun that accommodates the trigger, safety, magazine housing, and carry handle/rear sights. The pen end, or buttstock which is the end of the gun that rests against the user's shoulder, has been adapted as a scope. The scope easily rotates and flips into an upward and seats magnetically when retracted. The pen clip: Represents the carry handle and peep sight of the rifle. The mechanism: The side-click arm represents the bolt-group and trigger of the rifle. The mechanism is clicked or "fired" forward to extend the refill. Enjoy a smooth writing performance with a Parker style refill.

Grenadillo is prized for its reddish-brown coloring that routinely includes blacks, violets and oranges mixed in; it has proven itself time and again as a premiere choice for both musical instruments and furniture alike. Grenadillo responds very well to turning and emits a caramel like scent when worked. It is also an excellent alternative to cocobolo for those who do not wish to deal with the excessive oil and potential allergic reactions that true rosewoods sometimes induce. Typical straight grain patterns with some irregularity, it is also known to have frequent figuring. As with all Platymiscium species, the heartwood is also extremely resistant to fungi and termite attack, which is due to its content of secondary metabolites.

As a world renowned artisan, I was able to form this fine writing instrument through a painstaking process that involved several hours and stages in order to present a finely polished work of art. The blank was measured and drilled before inserting a brass tube. It was then trued on each end before being placed on my Rikon midi-lathe for the shaping using various chisels. When the desired shape was achieved I then took it through a multi-stage sanding process finishing with nine steps of micro-mesh, followed by a multi-step polishing with Cyanoacrylate for durability and deep sheen, followed up with Carnauba wax resulting in a glass like finish.

This fine writing instrument is destined to provide years of pleasure for the discriminating user.  Its unique, one-of-a-kind design will speak volumes to your individuality, knowing that you are carrying the pride of handmade craftsmanship that is often lacking in a world of duplicity.
