Hey all - Getting ready to order my first McMillan. I searched the forum and looked at pics until my eyes bled. Looked at all the examples on the precisionrifleblog link too. Used my best google-foo and can't find one like I'm thinking about. Want o design a camo colored McFlame using something like:
Black -> Light Tan -> Dark Green
or
Light Tan -> Olive -> Black
Anyone done anything similar using the camo/earth tone type colors? I'd appreciate a pic or two of it. I know they all come out different. Just having a hard time picturing a McFlame using those colors.
Suggestions? Thanks.
Rob

I'd think it would look kind of like a streaky, multi-tone turd. Maybe like you had Denny's biscuits and gravy for breakfast and then followed it up with a big cobb salad for lunch.
Now with even more aplomb

Lol....
I don't think it would be so hot as a flame, but as camo colors or a swirl, olive/tan/black always looks good. The flame effect seems to work better with "louder" colors.

Yep, gap or swirl. Maybe flame the light tan with the black or olive or dark green, but not all 3. ![[Linked Image]](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r134/JCMCUBIC/IMG_3304.jpg)

I could see doing a flame in gap colors. Using black at the forend, medium tan in the middle, and olive at the butt end..
Of course the gap swirl is always cool.

Get someone who is into photoshop to give you an idea of what it would look like?

Never liked the looks of flamers. Occasionally a red, white, and blue one may have appeal, other than that they look like schit.
Someone had a diarrhea pattern on here a while back.

It's only $550...just order it and see how it turns out. You could paint it if you hate it...

Earth tone colors look good no matter what you do IMO.
