You are nicer than me. I would just mount the scope backwards.

Or with X crosshairs -- or with zero eye relief!

I was just going to ask how long before he finds out the scope is backwards? Damn didn't get here in time.

It's guys like you who I'd rather shop with any day. I don't mind spending a few extra bucks for good service from a guy who knows what he's talking about, takes time with me, etc.

Your going the extra mile to help this guy, and giving him a pass on the mounting was wise. He may be wrong, but word-of-mouth is important and he has nothing to complain about.

Good luck and fortune to you.

I cant think of a job worse than working in a gun shop when it comes to a broader range of stupid people who walk in the door - (maybe used care sales).

I hate it (retail store front part of the business).
Its cool when you get legit customers, but for the most part I hate it.

I could write a book about the mouth breathers I've had to deal with.

Well, I want to personally thank you for taking the time to answer my questions via e-mail about RRA 9mm uppers. Your service, prices, and speed of shipping were awesome. The new upper looks great, can't wait to shoot it. Best of luck in your business!

Thank you.
Notice I never used the word "customers" in my post. Work in a gun shop long enough and you can tell within a minute, who walking in the door is a potential "customer" and who isnt. I'm happy to help customers, and enjoy seeing them get what they want.

Now I remember why I don't do retail walk-in business.
