I hear Pat Marlin shut his doors. He doesn't answer E-mails anymore.

The Sages Outdoors checks are as good as any and less expensive.

Armed people don't march into gas chambers.
yes sages has 500count quantities on ebay they work great on my 311291, 311329, 311413, 311414, and 311-165/ranch dog. i've had a borrowed pat marlin check maker they work just fine, and i have a freechexIII that i use mostly. i also have a few different ways i size and install gas checks lyman 45, 4500, lee push through, and a ideal/lyman 310 tool push through.
also there was a thread not long ago that pat marlin was trying to turn key sell his buisness as he was tired of dealing with the california wildfires and the exhorbitant power fees and taxes and such.
I have used copper gas checks from Lyman, Hornady, and Sage. Found the Hornady and Sage's Gator checks to work best on a variety of 30 cal molds from various makers. All I use now are the Gator checks from Sage sized .310 in a Lyman 450.
If you want smaller quantities, Sage sells aluminum checks in 100 piece quantities.
If you are going to make a hole in something. MAKE IT A BIG ONE!
I ended up buying a gas check maker from Dima Prok- works just fine with the aluminum flashing I have been using. Before that was buying the Hornady gas checks.
