I have two little girls so I understand the concept. I have already purchased my girls' first "real" rifle and it is pink. As long as they are happy, I'm happy.

That's just all kinds of wrong.
I would love to take one of these to the range. I bet it would spark a LOT of conversation.

I personally would not want it (any of them). But I was at a gun show, following a guy and his kids, down each row of tables. His daughter kept saying this rifle looks to scary to shoot, that one is too scary to shoot and on and on about how scary the guns were.
When he got to a table that had a pink .22 cal, his daughter said "Look dad, that one is cute, can I shoot that one?" The guy bought it for her. I hope the story had a happy ending and the girl began shooting.
Also, I guess if we want others to support our second amendment rights, we'll have to support their first amendment rights and let them express themselves with pink guns. What-ever the color of your gun, you support the right to private ownership.
But guys, if you bring that gun to my range, there had better be a lady on the firing line with you.

That is an awesome paint job on that AR!!! My wife liked it when she saw it. I guess I know what my next gun project will be.
And to all you fellers who are saying "oh, it's an insult to guns" and "oh, now I'm gonna cry b/c it's not black and tacti-cool" remember this:
When Daddy shoots, well, uh Daddy shoots. But when Momma shoots, the whole dern family shoots. Whatever it takes to get Momma shooting, that's what I'll do. To hell with what you think of the paint job.

rjrivero that ROCKS. Like ya said if it keeps them interested in shooting why not.
Pink scope, costly I'm sure, but if it is aluminum it can be anodized in pink.

I say contact Leupold and see what they can do.
Pink guns are cool, my wife wants several.

Thanks All.
I appreciate you guys being open minded about this project. I'm happy to do it for my daughter and I learned quite a bit while doing it.
If you look closely at her PINK AR, you'll see that I didn't really OBLIGATE the rifle to pink. All the parts that are pink can easily be swapped out in just a few swings of the hammer and turns of the wrenches.
I presume she'll out grow the "Pink Phase" and I'm fully ready to help her in her transition. Until then, I'll let her shoot away until her heart's content.

RjRivero: I think 44 AMP was referring to the pink plastic kalashnikov in the OP... The general sentiment on your custom AR-22 seems to be 'good on ya'. Pink is fine when it's classy, as are green, gray, black, red, purple and even some camo duracoat... it's when it's tacky (like the pink-stocked AR Vanya posted) that bile starts rising in my throat... YMMV.

The one Vanya posted belongs to a young lady who was around 8 years old when her daddy built the rifle for her. She thought it was wonderful. I think so, too.
For the guys who make such a foorah out of hating firearms designed to appeal to young females, maybe you could go find something else to do. Like maybe you could write to your representatives and gripe about how the RKBA is slowly vanishing, and add that you can't figure out why so many politicians assume that the only people who care about firearms are crabby old men.
