Very nice, with the shop's markup, you have to wonder who they got it from and for how much...more than one guy uninformed. Good for you!

Yep you're correct, that long rear sight should have turned on the light bulb, but at my age age the bulb don't turn on so fast any more. :D

Thanks for the comments guys, anxious to get it to the range.

I/m beginning to think I have a blown fuse as the light bulb hasn't turned on in quite awhile. Bill :oops:
