    Thumbs up Lathesmith is a straight shooter

    I j ust received my second sizing die and punch from Lathesmith and it's a "BEAUT". If you have never had him make a sizing die and punch, then you are missing out. If you put his work beside a die from Magma,his wins hands down. His dies have more material and the lube holes are better than the ones from that other company. Do yourself a favor and have one made as things like this are like good whiskey, beer, good cigars and of course pretty woman. They have to be tried before you understand.

    Thumbs up Lathesmith gets 10 thumbs up

    I just ordered a custom sizing die from Lathesmith, not only did he make it EXACTLY as I wanted but I got it in like a week. This guy is the BEST... Never fear doing business with him. The sizing die looks better than the Star factory dies. Thank you sir. You are a gentleman....
