    Default 50 BMG bottle opener

    I just received the most awsome xmas gift today. Another member made some of these for another member (they are both 50bmg shooters). I saw it and asked if he could make one up for me. It's a 50 bmg round made into a bottle opener. It's been polished out and has a api bullet loaded into it. I ran out and bought a bottle of beer to test drive it. I can attest to the fact that it works awsome!
    Now I just need to get some more beer.

    I'm the culprit that built it. Randy P. tried to purchased one on gun broker and missed out on it and I figured I could make one with my Dremil tool. It's a pain in the butt but they are pretty cool. The one problem I have now is I need some more carbide bits for my Dremil tool and there are none locally. I've got plenty of diamond and stone but they load up to quickly.

    I'm in one one. If you have access to a milling machine, it looks pretty simple to make one yourself.

    Ron's handiwork with his dremmell is awsome, very professionally done.
    I can attest to the fact that it's very functional.

    Ok, I decided to build a few more for those that think they really need one. How about $15 shipped each? If I'm stepping on toes posting this here please have a Mod delete it.

    That looks good. I've got a cigarette lighter made from a 50BMG that my Dad got in England during WWII.

    I figure that since the last 3 sold for $40 and you shipped it if I ask $15 shipped it should cover it. Let me know if you think I'm full of crap. Can't you get one of those packages that you can send anything that will fit for $2?

    I would've rather had them as live rounds to fire.

    Plus real men can open bottles with the edge of a table.
