"Hands On" -- Real Life Turning ---- Projects, problems, and solutions.
The "Bolt Action Pen", and what makes it work.

First -- The "Bolt Action" pen is one of the best and most popular pens that has come out in the last few years, but I have found that a little 'Tuning Up' makes it a much better seller. When the kit comes to you it is set up so that the bolt action is reverse to its 'Real Counterpart'. Most of my customers request that it be converted to make it authentic.

![]() Secound --Even though the "Bolt Action Pen" is one of my favorite pens to make it has been brought to my attention that it has a 'potential' problem.

The tip of the pen mechanism may come loose and come out
(apparently it was not glued in correctly by the manufacturer). The Insert that the tip screws onto needs to be re-glued. Click the Link below "Bolt Action Pen-Repair" to get complete information about this procedure. ![]() Photo B shows the tip

Third -- Many have requested that I offer the solution to completely disassemble the "Bolt Action Pen".
For whatever reason, you may want to take it apart, to replace or adjust something. It is a little involved but this is how I do it. Let me know how it works for you. Click this link 'Bolt Action Pen disassembly' to get the information.
