OP joelkdouglas Campfire Regular J Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,038 Wyoming	I have a stock I'm sending to McMillan to repaint. It will pair with a barreled action coated in Cerakote Graphite Black. I've narrowed my color choices down to: Black Black with grey specks Black with grey and tan specks Wondered if anyone here had pics of the above. Yes, I'm not very imaginative when it comes to rifle color. Thanks!

With that barreled action, I would be looking at an olive, gray, or tan base color for the stock. Speckle it up from there. Just my 2 cents. Olive as a base color is very low-key.

Black with grey specks and OD green . Looks good with a stainless action OD green with black specs OD Green with black and tan Last edited by darrenk75b; 10/09/14.

On a black barreled action, I would want something besides black as the main stock color for some contrast. OD with black and either tan or grey specks looks sweet. Have also thought about Gray with Oliver and Black specks.

The olive & green in Darren's post is actually one he just did for me on my KS. The olive is much nicer than it shows in the pictures. Olive with black & tan speckle. This one is almost black with white & grey speckle "Rather hunt Mule deer than anything else" "Team 7MM-08"

Those brown stocks with red pads look good...I think McMillan will also put a red pad on the stock when I send it back to repaint. The stock is currently olive with black and tan specks, with a black 1/2 inch pad. That's been a popular choice here, but when I had it in hand it looked...green. Thanks again.

My sniper grey cerakoted classic sporter sits in a brown stock as well. I painted it myself, but you still get the idea. I like the red decelerators on the McMillan's too: Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style.
