My .50 Kaliber Karve

[huck1680]

Gentlemen
I am trying to figure out how to utilize these .50 cal bullet shells for razor handles. I could just epoxy the Karve handle into the shell, but that's a waste of the original handle. So I'm now searching for less expensive brass handles to actually fit in to the shell that will accept Karve and possibly other razor heads. There's some good possibilities out there so I will pursue those. For now here's a couple of pics showing what I'm trying to do.
Cheers

Are they your used cases?

Why don't you just get sleeve with thread to put into shell? Something like this.

I find them to be ridiculously too large for razor handles.






8mm Mauser is pretty decent.

45/70 is perfect!

They are used but I bought them from a guy who loads his own.

I want the whole thing to be brass and I like the ends of the handles better than just running the shell right up to the head.

Actually the shell casing you're using looks longer than the ones I have. Mine measure just under 4".

Mine's bigger than yours.

That is very close to what I'm looking for. However it doesn't look like they ship to Canada.
