Yeah, he tried a couple of times to ge a large enough acrylic and could not source one. If he could have, I'd have preferred it, even in black. The dimensions were too large due to the flair at the shank end. Remember, this is a slightly oversized rhodesian, so even though the bore is only 13/16ths, the pipe is a fat boy with a flared shank. Apparently too large for standard acrylic. If you find that Mark sources some large-enough black acrylic please let me know, as we could offer that change to everyone. It would be preferable. but, I've chewed the poor mans ear a whole bunch already, I don't want to keep bugging him :lol:
