Steampunk Bolt Action Pen Kits

Step into the world of Victorian sci-fi and industrial craft with the Steampunk Bolt Action Pen Kit. This kit brings the Steampunk aesthetic to life in pen form, with flat-head screws, riveted patterns, and a replica Gatling gun barrel built into the hardware. The two-tone antique finish combinations — mixing Brass, Copper, and Pewter — give the finished pen that unmistakable 19th-century industrial look that Steampunk enthusiasts immediately recognize.

What truly sets the Steampunk Bolt Action apart is the layering of its design elements. The bolt action mechanism fits perfectly into the Steampunk narrative — mechanical, deliberate, tactile — while the two-tone hardware creates depth and complexity that you simply can't get from a standard plating. Pair it with a rich burl or a resin cast inspired by gears, clockwork, or industrial themes for a pen that looks like it belongs in a Victorian inventor's workshop.

Features

• Steampunk-designed hardware: Flat-head screws, riveted patterns, and a replica Gatling gun barrel — hardware that fully commits to the Steampunk aesthetic

• Two-tone antique finishes: Three combinations — Antique Brass & Copper, Antique Copper & Brass, and Antique Pewter & Copper — for a layered, complex look

• Bolt action mechanism: Slide forward to advance the refill and lock it in place; pull back to retract — a mechanism that feels as mechanical as the aesthetic it serves

• Steampunk-specific bushings: This kit uses dedicated Victorian/Steampunk bushings (PKVICBU), not the standard 30 Cal set

• Mid-size body: Comfortable in hand — a 2.5" turned section gives you room to showcase a striking blank without overbuilding

• Parker-style refill included: Ships ready to write; compatible with Parker-style aftermarket refills for easy upgrades

• Blank pairs beautifully with gear-themed, clockwork, or dark resin casts for a fully realized Steampunk presentation
