This is neat! I'd be in for at least a couple resin. Good luck with this, should be great. I'd also like knurled types.
I do plan to do a knurled knob at some point. I will buy a lathe and turn em out myself if I have to. I'm really excited about the resin knobs and am focusing most of my free time getting those up to speed. Need to dust off the nikon and build a light box so I can get some proper photos.

I know I have a truckload of nickel 243 WSSM once fired, but cleaned so deprimed. The 17 Remington nickel is still new, so again no spent primer. Offhand don't remember any others that are nickel. I had a huge container of spent primers, but no idea if that is still in storage (would have to look). From 100's of thousands of cases to no idea what's left after I stopped reloading for near 90 firearms a few years ago and sold most of them, so most of the brass I had is also gone. Know I still have some new brass of various cartridges that I wildcatted, but not which ones I still have except a 1000 225 Winchester.

Here Is a teaser shot of a resin prototype out In the field with me getting some "durability" testing.

As some of you know I am rough on my gear and I want to make sure anything I offer to you guys will stand up to my kind of abuse.

As I have posted above I want to come up with something for the ladies. I have been experimenting with resin casting and i and getting close to having something ready. So you all stay tuned as resin reo button covers are looking to be a likely reality. I will keep you all posted on my progress and may sneak In a prototype pic or two.

i saw one that used a cap and set a faux gem in the center. it was very simple, but clearly makes the point that *girls like guns too*. ;)

gonna see if i can find a pic of it.


well, obviously this is not the REO button, but you get the idea.

You are quite right on all accounts. I am somewhat surprised at the female response to the bullet casing covers. I am open to all suggestions as to what you guys and gals want to see me offer. The resin medium is going to allow many different styles and art forms which I hope should appeal to all.

I have seen a lot of folks wanting some type of knurled button and I am working on a possible option for a resin button with a knurled metal ring embedded. I will prototype that once I get caught up and get some product posted for sale.

Just because I'm a gal doesn't mean I don't fancy bullet buttons. I love my guns.
