Well,
Let's try again... :-[
Yesterday my Skinner peep sight came, and it is (IMO) beautiful... I installed it on my 1996 39A and took some photos of it.. I sent Andy (@Skinner) the photos, and I was proud, proud of my new peep sight..
Then I came here to share the photos with other Marlin 39A fans, and thought I was cooking with gas..
Until the phone rang and Andy (calling from Montana) tactfully, well, as tactfully as a person can be right after they fell off a horse from laughing so hard, suggested if I weren't 100% happy with his fantastic product I might want to try reversing it before sending it back..
Yep. I put that sucker on backwards..
This is the point where I use my "senior citizen" card..
I'm old, cut me some slack.. I'm sure if Ron White were describing me he might use his famous "you can't fix stupid" line...
Anyway, it's on pointed in the right direction and I think it's almost a work of art.. Just enough brass showing to compliment the gold plated trigger, and gold plated lettering on the barrel..
Ok truthfully Andy didn't fall off a horse... But if he had been ON a horse there is an excellent possibility it could have happened.
But, all's well that end's well. I love my new Skinner (Black Gold model) peep sight, and Andy had a good laugh at this old *******'s expense, but I'm so pleased with the quality and beauty of the peep sight sitting on top of my 39A I don't even mind being laughed at.
Crap, I deserve it.
Heck, I just appreciate Andy's calling me real quick so I could try and cover some tracks...
Best Wishes,
Jesse
