Where do you live in Canada? Too far to just drive across the border and pick some up there?

Sounds like you need to find a good friend in the US that would ship them over to you labeled as a "gift".... Or maybe as "seed starter cups"?

Or maybe you should just buy the dies from PatMarlins or whomever and start making your own... Ya'll still can buy rolls of thin aluminum or copper, right?

Importing GC's is not a problem in Europe. Obama must really hate Canada.

Can't tell them they are caps for miniature beer bottles?

Our Presidetn is just trying to get even with Canada for trying to build a pipeline through the U.S. that will take oil to Texas. Mr. O hates Texas and does not want to help our petrochemical industry. He also does not want all that filthy oil from Canada coming into the U.S. He wants us driving clean electric cars, and to stop using/depending on dirty oil, natural gas, nuke power and coal. If ya'll hadn't tried to force the oil thingie on us, you would be awash in good ole made in the U.S. gas checks.

I forgot to add a to the above post on gas checks.

danyboy:

Are you sure gas checks are included in the reloading component export restrictions?

I hadn't thought about gas checks as being a problem but they are reloading components so...

In any case, I made my own simple GC maker that works pretty well so not a problem for me.

Surely there is a gunshop locally that can order them for you. If not, you might try ordering direct by mail. It seems that several suppliers in the States will send direct especially if the order is less than $100.00. If they have and FFL there should be no problem for them to export. I recently ordered directly from Brownells for a scope mount that my local gun store could not get and gad no problem.

About the only other option is to order a Freechex II or III, or as mentioned the PatMarlin checkmaker and make your own... or try paper patching.

Good luck.

I've had GCs shipped to Canada from the good folks on this site, just can't remember his name!

Thanks to all for the tips and jokes. Yes they are included in reloading componants. I tried ordering them from Sanchez and got a negative reply from one of their clerks explaining american government restrictions. As for shopping at northern states in person, aren't allowed to have any ammo or reloading componant on your way to the canadian border in your car if you're not american.

Moondawg,
Been working in refineries for years and heard about this pipeline long before Obama was in power. Actually, the pipeline is for bulk unrefined bitume which is meant to be refined in the states and sold back to you and us. It would eventually make the US more independant from the OPEP and shut down gradually some of our refineries. Of course, electric cars and what not are in their plans but I will probably never see it in my lifetime.
Dnepr,
Just ordered them from DragonBulletLube and it went through.
Thanks

I'm not sure I would classify them as "reloading components" since your bullet doesn't *have* to have them in order to fire... I might consider primers and powder reloading components... So, if you carry 50 lbs of lead ingots across the border, it's not "reloading components", but if you carry 50 lbs of cast bullets, it would be?

If I lived in Canada near the border and there was somewhere in the US right across the border that had the gas checks, I would just buy them and go back across the border with them. Besides, it's unlikely the Canadian border guys would even know what they were.

Depending upon how often you need gas checks, buying one of the gas check making dies might be your best bet... I've considering buying one, but I can't decide between the FreeChex one and the one by PatMarlins... I've heard of some people making their own dies though...

Actually, Mr. O hates America.
But it is 2012, vote him out.
I never voted the illegal alien in.

If he doesn't want us using any of the above how does he plan on generating enough eletricity for the cars? The enviornmentalist will not allow him to build wind farms, they destroy the landscape.

I know, he is trying to find "Tony Stark" and have him build him one of those little generators he uses to power his Ironman suits. Hasn't anyone told him he is fictional?

Sounds like you should befriend a couple of people from the States who like hunting in Canada and arrange a hunting party a couple of times a year. Then you just have them bring up what they can of the items you need.

You can also check in with Epps Sporting Goods. www.ellwoodepps.com . I bought 2000 - 44 gas checks from them before Christmas and they mail order.

[sirgknight]

Maybe this is a very ignorant scenerio, but let's assume that I mail 500 gas checks to a friend of mine in Canada. First off, would the envelope be opened to see what they are? Secondly, how would it be determined that the little cups are "illegal"? I can understand bullets, powder and primers, but lead ingots or gaschecks? C'Mon Man.......

[303british.com]

Customs here might open the envelope and examine the contents, but gas checks would not be turned back.

For example, it's not illegal to have someone mail you cast or jacketed bullets to Canada. It may not be legal to export them from the US however. Same with gun barrels, scopes, etc.

There is a list of components and equipment that the US does not allow exported, unless the destination point has obtained a permit.

I say get a check maker if ya can't do that have somebody come up with a couple thousand from america and do a GB with canadians
