Great to hear the 30cal Checkmakers are shipping this week, Pat! Answered my question, thanks! Cant wait to try mine out!
I'm working as fast as possible, and orders are being filled daily. Not as fast as I would like, and I'm not caught up as fast as I thought I would be from being behind with our power system down here the past weeks, but I will be caught up soon. I'm working to perfect and speed up production as well, and will have a much greater production capability in the coming weeks.
Thankfully, there is a tremendous demand for my products, and a considerable amount of requests sent daily by email and PMs. I can't possibly stop and get back to everyone on a moments notice, provide multiple updates, and still get orders filled in the shop.
Just the way it is with a Mom and Pop shop. I can't promise a delivery time and lock myself into a date as delays happen. There is only so much time in a day.
I will promise that I won't cut corners and compromise craftsmanship or my products quality. I do promise you will get a quality product that will perform spot on, and you will be happy with your order.
Shooters are keeping me hopping.
I probably won't have any extra sitting stock for a few months. All that's ready now is filling previous orders. All that I continually produce gets sold. My one CNC is running all day. The second CNC is currently making ejector pins and male dies. It will be making all die parts and run all day as well as soon as I can transfer more programs over to it.
So like I tell everyone you can wait, or pre-order to get inline. Pre-orders go out first. It's the buyers choice.
It's all I can do until I get all my machines fully setup and programmed. Includes my ROCKDock™ CNC mill as well.
We're keeping at it...
Calibers that are on my production list with parts running should be shipped within 15 days as I get caught up here:
30 cal (includes 7.62x39), 30PB (includes 7.62x39), 338 cal, 32/8mm cal, 32PB cal (includes 8mm), 35 cal (includes 9mm), 35PB cal (Plain Base, includes 9mm).
And soon to that list will be 45 cal, 44 cal, 45PB's including pistol and rifle, and 44PB cal versions. I'm not officially adding these calibers to the production list until I have all pre-orders finished. I am running parts on those now. Thought I woulda had all 45 cal standards shipped this week but have not made it.
I should be caught up enough soon to where all die calibers on my production list ship within 15 days or sooner. The more headway I make here, the faster orders will ship and the faster more new calibers will become available.
Just want to remind everyone that Pat needs to go to the shoot next spring/early summer.... so he better shut down for a couple weeks so he can go..

Pat, I recieved my ship notification in e-mail. Thanx for making these dies for all of us who can't but want to make our own checks. I will order more later. Your services are greatly appreciated.
Any word on the .45's? It's been almost one year now since I ordered mine and haven't received any information yet.
You can find updates I've posted here in the past in the Gas Check forum.
I've had my main CNC machine down for almost 3 weeks now, and I think I have it repaired finally this evening. I had been running 45 caliber parts- all but one part of the dies finished when the breakdown happened. So the hold up. The part- a Z axis encoder had to be made to order. Had no time to get this final die part programmed for my new machine, but hope to have the second machine programmed for all 45 cal die parts as well soon.
Hopefully, I have it resolved and will have all the remaining 45 caliber dies including PB versions shipped out of here very soon.
Also- M1G's post above is regarding another caliber and not 45PB in case it has cause any confusion.
No, no confusion on my part. All I have ever asked about/ordered were the .45 dies. Still waiting. If not for the constant "soon, very soon!" messages I have seen for all these months here on several threads and by Email I could have spent the money on other suppliers that actually have a product to ship. As it is, you have my money so I guess I have to wait.
No need to wait Markbo.
I'm trying to find your name, so I can send you a refund.
Please send a PM right away and will get you taken care of.
After this much time Pat?! Don't be silly... Of course I will wait. What harm is it doing now? I have been without my money and the promised product for a long, long time and assure you my shooting fun is not based solely on YOU. After following the bandwagon of supporters I just want to make sure that somebody who might actually be interested actually knows what is really going on, that's all!

Believe me... I could say one helluva lot more than that, but I think I have made my point.
Honestly Markbo, I don't get your point.
But it's hard enough with what I have to accomplish here to remain successful enough- in this venture to provide a quality product for my fellow shooters, so I'll get back to work.
