Rifle Casings for Crafts

Most craft casings are short, straight pistol cases. These are rifle casings: ten empty .223 Remington cases with the long body, sloping shoulder and narrow neck of a rifle round. At about 45 mm long they are more than twice the length of our 9mm casings, which gives you a lot more brass to work with.

Each case is once-fired and cleaned. Headstamps can vary between casings – we match them where we can.

Ideas for the Bottleneck Shape

  • Pendants and charms that look like a rifle round
  • Resin pieces, coasters and paperweights
  • Wind chimes – the long cases ring well when hung
  • Pen bodies and desk accessories
  • Display boards and shooting-themed decor

Working With .223 Brass

  • Hanging: the primer pocket in the base is the natural place to drill for a small eye pin or jump ring.
  • Cutting: a fine-tooth saw or rotary tool will take off the neck or cut the case to length.
  • Polishing: a brass cleaner or tumbler brings back the shine; a clear lacquer keeps it.

Condition

Rifle cases take a hard knock when they are ejected, so expect the odd dented shoulder, scuffs along the body and a firing mark on every primer. A few may have a split neck. For pendants and resin work that wear is usually welcome; for projects needing identical, flawless pieces, choose new brass instead.

Other craft casings: 10mm casings, nickel-plated 9mm casings and .22 rimfire casings. Prefer it finished? The .223 Remington bullet keyring uses the same round with a seated bullet.
