Question - When did Pachmayr introduce the Presentation pads?
All:

I know... a somewhat random and arcane question however, I am trying to place a timeframe on an older stock that I have and it has Pachmayr presentation pad on it.

I found some old copies of catalogs and brochures out there on the web, and the furthest back I can find them seems to be around 1974 or so.

Does anybody recall or have any old literature which might be shed some light on this.

I did try calling Lyman and they were of no help.

Thanks for any thoughts....BB

1967 Shooters Bible has Presentation Pads listed.
1962 does NOT mention "Presentation"

Richj- thank you so much for looking into that, much appreciated and very helpful!

That is very interesting as it starts to narrow the window. The rifle in question was made in 1964, so the pad on it may be original……at least it isn’t ruled out yet.

Forget about that and use the Old English Decelerator.
