This guy is wrong, of course! BUT, there are a LOT of people who believe this!

A lot of people selling gun stuff are totally ignorant about the subject. For example, the other day I was at the local DICK'S "sporting goods" store looking for a couple of scope mount bases.. (Yeah, I know!) Well, I told the genius behind the counter that I wasnted a specific pair of bases. He started lookijng through his assortment of RINGS!!

I said, "those are RINGS. I need bases." I then had to lead him to the portion of the pegboard where the bases were hung up in little plastic bags. "Oh yeah." says he. "Bases." Believe it or not, he did find the right ones. there were two bases in the little bag, but he tried to sell me FOUR because "it says right here on the envelop that you need two." So I said "but there are two in this envelope, and that's how many I need." he says "Well, it's your gun. If you need another envelope of them, I guess you'll just have to come back." I just laughed and said "yes, I guess so! har, har!!"
