I called them up and explained. The fellow I talked to apologized and said the part would go out by priority mail.
I guess the guys in the shipping department slipped up somehow. At any rate, my wife and I thought it was funny. - She regretted not being there when I opened the package.
I've been working with Brownell's for thirty years I guess, and this was their first mistake. Fortunately it wasn't anything that I can't afford to wait a bit for, it was for my gun and not a customer's. - So no harm was done.
What I ordered was a "SoftEye", a rubber accordion-like affair with an eyepiece that attaches to the objective on a rifle scope.

It's supposed to give you a better sight picture, and protect you from scope eyebrow... I just thought it looked neat and wanted to give it a try. It reminds me of something I once saw in a picture of a German naval ack-ack gun from WWII.
I'm looking forward to trying it out. It surprises me that I haven't seen one of these before on tactical rifles, it's a real official-looking gadget for sure.
