    Gunsmithing Anyone have a Labounty Fixture to sell?

    Re: Anyone have a Labounty Fixture to sell? I use the fixture all the time. I like it and it does a good job if you set it up correct. When I got it I had to do a little rework so it would do what I wanted. The V-way and the diameter that you chuck on were not in line with each other. I...
