ah, I got this ... probably. Punch comes today, though!
Everything should have tritium sights!
The Lyman dies cleaned up nice this morning, and it's always nice to get a new boolit mold. .30-30 was the caliber I started on a Lee Loader with, in 1978 ...Never used either RCBS molds or Lyman dies before. Interesting.

You might look into investing in an LPVO as I am doing?
I’m running an Eotech right now. I always wonder about functioning when the batteries die or the sight itself.

Smoking a corn dog in aviators and a top hat
Found this FN 1900 today. No magazine, and that made me hesitate, but I figured I'd rather try to find a mag than try to find another 1900. I ended up ordering a Triple K, which I'm a little nervous about, but I figure it's better than nothing.
And here it is with its younger (in terms of lineage, not necessarily actual age) American cousin (niece/nephew? Half-sibling?).

I've had pretty good luck so far with TripleK mags.
Love the early FNs.

I hope I get your luck. I've heard mixed reviews, but it's literally the only option. As long as I can shoot it, I'll be happy. I'd been looking for one for a long time. It's in really good shape, too.

Just got the email that it's on backorder. Wonderful.
My lovely new Cimarron/Uberti 1873 rifle in 45Colt came in yesterday. I absolutely love lever guns and pistol caliber long guns. These reproduction guns are just beautiful. I take these out of the safe to admire more than I do the Miroku Winchesters.
Heck yeah it does!!! Those things are like unicorn turds sprinkled in pixie dust and left in the light of a rainbow to harden!
Grabbed host #2 today in the form of a CZ 457 ProVarmint AT-One w/ a 24" barrel... Just have to acquire a scope (Thinking an Athlon Helos), a scope base ('cause CZs 11mm dovetail set-up is odd to say the least), and a set of rings..
And a BassPro provided a few (collectable? ) boolets to feed it...

I agree! From the wee bit of fiddling around I've done I would say that the quality is excellent. And while underrated the 457s are (along with the Tikka T1x's) owning the NRL22 Base class. Might have to give that a try once I get it sorted out!
The 11mm or 3/8" inch dovetail has been and in much of the world still is the standard. The later Weaver and Picatinny bases are a relatively new phenomena. But an adapter is readily available and generally run about $10.Grabbed host #2 today in the form of a CZ 457 ProVarmint AT-One w/ a 24" barrel...

I keep a few on hand just in case. Installed one the other day on the Rossi RB22 to mount a reflex red/green dot.
I considered the 11mm rings from Tier-One (amazing quality) but for the price they run I can get an EGW or Area 419 adapter, a set of Burris (the self aligning ones) or Vortex (Precision Matched) rings, and still buy a box or two of Eley, SK, or Lapua "fancy" ammo for testing purposes.
I highly recommend the Area 419 scope base. It’s superbly made and clamps from the sides instead of top.Grabbed host #2 today in the form of a CZ 457 ProVarmint AT-One w/ a 24" barrel...

my CZ 455 Varmint Tacticool before I added the cheek riser:
Very nice! The only thing that turns me off about the Area 419 riser (and I am a huge fanboi!) is how stinking tall it is! The EGW clamps from the side as well but is only half the height. But the added bubble level is a plus! I'm gonna have to ponder this when I get back...I highly recommend the Area 419 scope base. It’s superbly made and clamps from the sides instead of top.
my CZ 455 Varmint Tacticool before I added the cheek riser:
I'm a big fan of the Burris Signature rings, particularly if you get the insert kit for additional adjustment. In addition to correcting alignment issues, you can add a few MOA elevation as well. I use them on all of my 1 inch scopes. While they make a set of 30 mm rings, I don't believe they have the additional insert kit for them. UTG makes dovetail to Picatinny individual base converters that are supper low profile. Reviews vary on the inexpensive Chicom made adapters, works on some applications well, not so much on others. I've used them on airguns with success, not sure how well they would stand up to heavy recoil though, but should work fine for a .22.
