Well thanks to BLAUBEAR we have the correct definition for a PINKO, and I am sorry Pat Steiger must have got the definition incorrect, since I don't think it fits Coates, he is getting kind of old also, I hope he don't get to fly his plane to any PINKO countries.
By the way I had enought of " commies" in my life, I will never build a gun for any one that I would suspect of being a PINKO.

Evelio, "Pinko" was so over used as an accusation that it became meaningless, even a joke. It isn't used seriously anymore.

Here are some photos, will get better ones in Tennessee hopefully.

Well, that is a nice rifle Mary, has Coates been able to shoot it yet?

Kevin,
He got to shoot it in two matches this weekend, both times a little short on sighting in but he still managed to shoot his average of 28 and 27 without a spotter.

Evelio, I like the recoil pad on the pink rifle. Who makes it? I need one...Thanks, Ken

Ken, the material is actually rubber shoe sole, I buy it on 3ft. x 3ft. sheets on diferent thickness, and cut and grind to match the profile of the stock.
Evelio.

It looks to be light in weight. Would you consider selling me a piece of 1" or 3/4" thickness for the Pharr stock I'm doing?

Be more than glad to send a piece of the material, tell me what thickness you want, and your address. The material is about the lightest you can get, it is the same as Mark puts on the guns he builds.
Evelio.

Thanks Evelio ! PM sent.

If it's the same as Mark puts on his rifles, I can attest that it's very lightweight and so far has been very durable, too. My cowboy rifles need a bit more in the length of pull category and since buttpads are legal for them, I'm thinking of putting it on all three.

Here are some photos, will get better ones in Tennessee hopefully.

I've got just the right shade of pink powdercoat for those rings.......
