I am seeing ghosts...everywhere!

Hi guys – remember the butchering I was going through:

Well - I just hope that enough is enough...:

After long heavy brainstorming I’ve pulled the plug and visited a retired gunsmith in vicinity, just to talk about ghost sights. As a surprise, old man smiled when I asked him if he has ever heard about, or even made a ghost ring sights. He slowly went to his chambers to be back in a minute with his old cape gun. He handed it to me and behold – there were nice ghost ring sights sitting there – staring at me. Cape gun was his exam work when he finished a gunsmith school in Ferlach some 50 years ago. To cut a long story short – in a couple of weeks my Merkel was there and the long wait began...oh - he took some time and I just let him do his job – finally, after 2 ½ months, I received a call that my Merkel is finished. I just couldn’t wait to get it in my hands and give it a try at the range...and right now my smile is just as Robert Duvall’s from the end of that clip...
