Possible new option for a cap making tool!

[rrebuck]

I may be interested, depending on price and how hard it is to get/make the booming requirements for inside the caps.

Hi everybody... thanks for your interest in a set of cap making dies. Like Sam mentioned I designed a set quite a few years ago and back then there wasn't much interest so I never went in to full production with them but it looks like now there's some interest. Found those in the photo Sam posted yesterday and I've got to go through my CNC progams and find the setups. The dies are complete and would work just like all my Checkmaker™ die sets. The price would be the same as all other calibers at patmarlins.com

Thanks again for your interest and thank you for posting this thread Sam. God Bless everyone and keep your power dry... Pat

Hi All,
Like many others here I’m an avid reloader. I have purchased quite a few products from Pat Marlin and am very happy with them all. One of the products he makes is a very high quality press mounted die to make gas checks. I have thought for quite a while now the similarity in the making of percussion caps and gas checks. So today I sent Pat an email asking if he would entertain making a die to make caps. To my surprise he replied within 20 minutes. His response was that he made a prototype quite a while ago, at the time caps weren’t a supply issue. Pat asked that I throw this out here to get a consensus of potential interest. If there is enough interest he would entertain putting them into production. He sent me this picture of the cups his die cut and formed when he initially made the prototype. They are made of 3 metals, .010 copper, .014 aluminum and .004 soda can material. His prototype die is for #11. So I’m throwing this info out there because I know I’d like to have one. I dont work for Pat Marlin, there is nothing in it for me but the prospect of buying a superior cap making tool. You can see his Checkmaker Dies at his website. He has many pictures of his Checkmaker dies and how they are used. I will email him with the level of interest in this die. I encourage you to check out his website and take a look at these dies and respond to this thread if would be interested in this!
Thanks!

I would definitely buy one!!

The primer compound is easily sourced from sharpshooter.

I'm definitely interested but price would be a factor. I have the sharpshooter tool but Martin's look cleaner.

You could put a poll up top.

Here is a thread with a simple primer compound recipe, components easily sourced on the internet.

Count me in!

 

[Patmarlin]

Awesome... It's been 10 years since I designed the cap maker dies. Could not find the prototype but I've found my old notes and CNC programs. I doing some edits and running parts here now for a new prototype. Soon as I get some dies working I'll post an update here... Pat

I am in.

 

[Gtrubicon]

Thanks Pat! This is great news! Obviously, put me on the list please!

 

[Frontstuffer070]

Put me on the list.

Is the cost $119 while none are available? Then $169 when they are?

 

[Sandro_Ventania]

Yes! I,m on!

 

[Jed42]

Interested depending on costs

 

[deGheyn]

Interested.

 

[TransYank]

Interested.

I'm in as well

 

[Ohio Rusty]

I'm interested as well. I know Pat Marlin from Cast Boolits. I like how clean the cap punchouts are compared to the wrinkly ragged edges of the other cap makers. This cap maker would be quite useful.
