ROCKDock™ -Reloading Bench Docking Mount System (Patents Pending)

Dillon 550B

"At last, the mailman brought the gadget I had been waiting for, the press docking mount from our very own Pat Marlin. As I expected, it is beautiful! This is a great setup, and for those of us whose benches must serve multiple purposes it is a wonderful addition. I had the docking mount installed in less than half an hour, and my Star and Lee presses bolted to their plates soon after. I shimmed it a bit, like the instructions say to do, and had it working to my liking in no time. I added a rail in front of my bench for my Akrobins, for that added bit of functionality. I highly recommend this setup! Thanks Pat,this thing is great!"

-Chris Smith

Outstanding product, overbuilt. Good communication!

-Tom Earley

Excellent,very good job...

-Richard ivanich

If you're like me you have limited reloading bench space, and now I find I need to move my presses more frequently... from loading bench to the shop, from the bench to the range, or to a portable bench in front of the TV.

Then sometimes I need to easily swap bench positions of my presses and lube sizers for various tasks. Add the fact that I use 3 lube sizers each holding my favorite lubes, 4 presses and growing- bolting and unbolting is a pain.

I wanted to create a real strong- design that looked good on the bench and served other functions. This heavy duty docking mount system has exceeded expectations in every way and proved to be rock solid and a joy to use.

Patmarlins is a new up and coming company that is the genesis of what true American ingenuity can be in today's world.

A manufacturing and product development shop, completely off grid and solar powered in the Shasta Trinity National Forest- probably the only off grid machine facility in the shooting industry. Starting with just a small lathe 2 years ago, to a fully outfitted manual shop that now includes 3 automated, 3phase industry standard CNC machines.

Pat's designs are original and unique with more exciting new products to come on the horizon, providing quality- imagination, and old American values in service and workmanship for his customers.

All Standard Version ROCKDock™ systems include the lube heater shelf option as well. It comes stationary- (standard configuration) and can be ordered removable. Standard version orders with base plates for the MEC 600 for an example, come supplied with a removable lube heater shelf (due to clearances).

The Large version ROCKDock™ base plate useable space is approximately 7" wide x 8" deep. Lube heater shelf is an optional item and removable only.

Overall footprint is 9 1/2" wide x 8" deep.

If it will fit there, it will work and can be mounted.

"The proof is in the accuracy results"

For cast shooters- accuracy is the quest we all seek with our beloved silver stream.

Why invest in a gaget that claims to make a pile of checks in record speed, when Checkmaker™ dies produce excellence at only a slightly slower pace.

I want a die that produces results that shoot, not just sit there and look pretty.

.... B. R. James

Rapidly becoming the 1# choice...

Checkmaker™ gas check making dies are guaranteed to perform flawlessly as currently proven by numerous cast shooters:

Checkmaker™ Gas Check Forming Die Sets:

-Meet or exceed accuracy shooting results of factory checks.

-Very user friendly- fast and easy to use, and to set up.

-Produce a bare minimum of material waste.

-Produce concentric gas checks that fit, using the accuracy of your reloading press.

-Flexible- accommodate a wide range of material thickness- from .005 up to .018 and work with a wide range of Boolit diameters all within one caliber set.

-Will be supported and available soon in ALL calibers.

-Heavy duty designed quality machined-

All calibers will be offered in a "PB" plain base version (shown) as well so you can push your favorite plain base mold boolits to places like never before. 35PB caliber available NOW!

I tried the 35 plain base checks in my brothers 9mm thats been giving us fits. I tried a load that put quite a bit of lead in the barrel according to my notes. I put the checks on the boolits this time and guess what???

No more leading and very accurate in his pistol and carbine. These PB checks make 9mm loads very easy now. No more problems. Right there made this tool worth the money. Awesome results!

- Ken Dodge

"If I were starting over in pistol molds I would get only plain base molds. The plain base gas check makes the plain base boolit dual purpose. Only have to cast one boolit for either application."

-Robert Freestone

Pat says the following :

"These Checkmaker™ dies are fast and easy to set up, fast and easy to use, and produce accurate, concentric, gas checks with the help and accuracy of your reloading press and leave an extremely small amount of material waste."

He is ' dead on ' with his comments. This is a quality product and will work just as he describes. The ones I made this afternoon ( made from .010 CU ) were tried on 3 different .30 cal cast bullet designs. They fit tight on all 3.

Great Product Pat ! ! ! ....Well Done !

Just a small sample of our customer feedback...

.30 cal tool used at last...

Pat I just had to let you know that the shoulder problems are almost gone (Jerry tore his rotator cuff) and I produced a pile of great looking checks today. The tool does exactly what you said and I'm in hog heaven.

Thanks for all your efforts.

Simplicity and elegance

It went together like butter on hot toast and is a really nice simple

setup.

I may have to order more and I am sure once buddies see it they will

want one to clean up their tabletop.

Thanks for a great product.

Gary Banas

GOT THEM!!!

Everything including the saeco , fits like a glove!!!

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK!

You have fixed a problim I have had with mounting these presses for the last 25-30 or so years.

I am like a kid with a new toy! Take care and god bless.....Buck

First of all, Pat. Quality and very easy to use!!

Ernie Plumber

This seems to be one d*mn slick little tool. I had a very short learning curve, as you would with any tool. I'm sure I'll continue to refine as I experiment. I have a small pile of soda can gaschecks forming.

Patrick L.

Had a box waiting for me when I arrived home this evening. First bit of advice I can offer - retreat to your man cave before you open the box. Failure to heed this warning will cause you to be reintroduced to the Hoover. This will make sense when you open the box.

The tool is a very clever design and just takes a few minutes to become acquainted with the various parts and how they fit together. I had two materials I had put aside to try, mainly because they were free. I have some .008 soft copper and some .012 aluminum roof flashing. Both materials formed good checks. The copper was easier to work with because it cut and formed easier. Checks formed from both materials seated perfectly on the shanks of 30 cal boolits I have laying around. I did not try any through the sizer yet, but will soon.

The tool works as advertised, and looks to be an interesting gadget to experiment with. Nice job, Pat!

Vly

Hi Pat, I finally got a chance to get down to the shop and try the new punch you sent.

PERFECTION!!!

Not tight, not loose, perfect! Thanks for all the help. Oh, and thanks for the extra CFF in the box. With all this flux, I need to find another motherload of wheelweights. Now I need to get what I loaded down to the range and see how they fly !

Thanks again Ernie (aka Plumber)

I have been pleased with the results using these checks. Todays results - same gun and load as before. 1" ~ 7/8" ~ 1" Not quite one hole, but better than I was doing with factory checks.

Robert F.

Pat,

Comparison of the ROCKDock™ with LEE Precision's recent press mount offering...

LEE needs a tool to tighten your press down each change. The ROCKDock™ doesn't.

LEE is pretty much limited to their presses. The ROCKDock™ accomodates their presses as well as ALL other manufacturers presses, Mecs, Dillons, progressives, turrets, lube presses and case prep tools, and powder measures.

LEE uses plywood for a base you have to drill on your own. The ROCKDock™ uses machined 6061 T6 aircraft aluminum and high quality mounting hardware, predrilled to fit your press.

LEE has no lube heater function. The ROCKDock™ is a true lube press heater w/lube shelf.

The ROCKDock™ is a once in a lifetime purchase for only $14.95 more to mount a LEE press, and is a sleek- fine peice and rock solid quality mount that enhances the look and function of your reloading bench.

The ROCKDock™.... IS no comparison...
