Gator gas checks use the C2100 alloy and that metal has been the most costly to acquire when it can be acquired. So, we will be increasing the Gator gas check prices as the older stock is sold out. The Aluminum materiel has increased less, so far the prices will be holding there. The C1100 or pure copper gas checks will increase some in cost also, but hopefully not as much. 

.30 caliber Gator checks will be going up $5 per thousand, which will be $34.00 a thousand. That is the largest price increase ever, but the increased material cost is beyond our control.

USPS Ground Advantage rates have lowered the shipping cost for many order sizes, so that will be the primary method of shipping now. I can ship a 1,000 .44 Copper gas checks for $7.99 instead on the previous $9.99 flat rate.

Check Out The New .50 Rifle Gas Check By Clicking Here: .50R

Here is a picture:

Our idea for this .50R gas check was to make it in a mid size so you won't need separate Short and Tall versions. Testing has just started, but the fit is very good. After using a gas check seater we can't pull them off by hand. So far, they have sized fine at .512 and .517 using a push through NOE bushing type sizing die.

A customer gave us feed back on our .44 Small Shank aluminum gas checks. These are our .018 .44 rifle gas checks made about .003 undersized inside the cup. We use a fairly thick aluminum, so these will size up to the larger bores too.

Ron Neifer:

"This is an example of the undersized checks used for Lee small shanks. Shot on two different days with my Marlin Micro purchased in early 70s. 300 grain Lee. I seat the aluminum checks with a Lee sizer and lube with my Lyman 450. I did not find one aluminum check laying on the range. I have been doing exhaustive tests and I can say these checks work as advertised. Great product. Will purchase more. They also work on regular size shanks, so go ahead and experiment.

Ron Neifer followed up with another report on 8-7-18:

"Attached is photo of Lee 430-310-RF. As you can see your product performs as claimed. Prior to using Sage Small checks I lost 20 percent of my cast as the copper checks would not adhere solid to the base. It was frustrating as fliers would result. Those days are over. It was a perfect day at the range. I hope to try this check in my .44 mag with other projectiles. I included the load data. I have yet to find one aluminum check laying on the range."

We have been adjusting our tooling over the winter. The changes are happening quicker since we started making our own gas check dies last year. Our gas checks are tested continuously, we try our best to keep the dimensions from batch to batch consistent. Making the tooling in house allows us to keep things in tip top shape and R&D can happen much faster now.

We appreciate feed back, let us know how the new gas checks work for you.

Some have missed the convenience of using Amazon Pay, you don't have that payment option now because Amazon Pay cancelled our account. Apparently they do not approve of us selling gas checks. It surprised us since the Amazon web site sells the same type products and some of our competitors are still selling on their web site. Another example of the hypocritical double standards these politically biased companies embrace.

The .30 gas checks are back in stock finally, we have restocked enough raw materials to finish out the year. We also have new calibers in the works. Our plan for the new year is to expand our wholesale offerings and improve our plain base prices. The R&D is ramping up on a number of new gas check versions too. 

Keep us in mind for your gas check needs, we will be adding more items in the spring.
