This is correct.
I ordered a custom size (fat 6.5mm) and was told it would be about 3 weeks before delivery...and guess what, it was delivered in 3 weeks. Anyone remember the patmarlin early days? I waited 18 months for a 41 cal plain base...now granted, he hadn't made one that size before, but I was told when I sent my money, it could be as long as a month or two [smilie=1:

$98 Canadian??? That's like $50 USD before inflation....

Thanks Jon! I'll be giving them a call on Monday.

I tried the one from sharpshooter 22rl couldn't get it to work. Sent it back the replacement didn't work either. Returned second one and PO lost it in the at the post office in CO.

The forming button/mandrel being screwed in is an important feature. Even if your die works perfect out of the box, you may want to turn a new button to suit your particular gas check material thickness and bullet molds. It's astounding that some of these dies have this mandrel pressed and glued in to save a buck.

I got a 35 cal one used and had to buy thinner aluminum for it. I contacted BFB and he offered to "fix" the die, but I got it working with the thinner flashing. I told the guy he needs to join us as a vendor. They can make custom dies aka 8mm 45-70 etc.

Thanks for the heads up , when I get the funds thinking of get some of them to use. Yes for you to say about being a vendor on here then it will be easier to get in contact with him.

They're like a work of art, short turn around time, and single step process to produce very nice gas checks.
