    Has anybody seen these weird Gas Checks before?

    Just found these while going through a milk crate of stuff I purchased a few years ago. This is the first time I have ever seen these...

    Interesting. No gas-check shank necessary.

    an internet search was way worse than unfulfilling.

    You should repost or link to the gas checks pages for more eyes. Really looking forward to learning more about their use and function.

    Yes, I tried to find info about them and NOTHING on the web... I had no idea there was a Gas Check section here or I would have posted it there... maybe a helpful Mod will move it for us?

    Never seen them before, you would want to be sure they weren't seated below the neck though.

    The box shown is 8mm and I also have a box that is labeled "32 cal." Go figure...

    Still hoping to hear from someone who knows about these. I did post a pointer link to this over in the Gas Checks section.
