Choose any 2 or 3 of the molded in colors to create a unique swirled marble pattern finish for your custom stock. Literally thousands of different patterns can be created, including any you see in this catalog or on our website. No two stocks are ever made alike.



And here is the camo chart for those of you who want a molded-in camo finish:

OH... you are evil. What is the Coyote Bomber recipe?

Post deleted by Steelhead

Don't need no pics, need recipe. 50% tan, 25% Olive, 35% black as I recall. Or is that another rifle?

BMT

Since you asked so nicely, seems to me the bomber is 50 olive, 25/25 Black/tan.

Mine is 50 Dark gray, 25/25 Black/tan...

Mtn Hunter is the originator of the "Coyote Bomber" ... here's the recipe from one of his posts a LONG time ago ...


50/25/25 Dark Grey/Black/Med Tan "Coyote Bomber Pattern"

I guess mine IS the orginal bomber.....

Steelhead ... you can lay claim to whatever you want concerning "da bomber" ... I was just trying to help the guy out with the "recipe" he asked for ...

Having said that, I'd to your recipe WAY before the other ... I just can't like gray as the base color for a stock ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I am just saying that mine is in the orginal bomber pattern, it AIN'T the original bomber. I ain't laying claim to nuttin.....

This thread would be a good place to dump replies and just post pics of different Mcswirly's and their color percentages.

That's the one I was wanting... I got to file that away for the next project.

Steelhead: could you put a Pic. of it on this thread so we can look at it again, if it is the one I'm thinking about it is "awesome", just would like to see it again.
thanks
Navarro

Here is mine in the "Bomber" mix of 50% Dark Gray, 25% Med Tan and 25% Black.


DT

Now that is sweet looking!

I currently own 7 Mcmillan swirled pattern stocks and I think they are the only way to go in a custom stock!

Steelhead and Droptine: Thank You both for posting pic. of your rifle stocks . they really look great . at least this gives us an idea what to expect when we decide to take the plunge and try to mix up a Mcswirley in the future.
Navarro

Here's my 6.5-06. It's a Remington Classic style and the recipe is 60% Burgundy, 20% Dark Grey and 20% White. Mickey Coleman put it together.

Colors?
Man, I may have to have at least one stock that is colored up fancy!

I get enough queries about this color scheme to warrant posting it. When I ordered it through Mike Bryant, I specified 80% dark red, 20% black. After discussing it with Rick Bin and looking at the color chart, I think McMillan used Burgandy where I requested a dark red, since they technically don't have a "dark red." In any case, I was extremely pleased with how it came out.



This one is SharpShooter's Nesika 6.5-06 put together by Charley Robertson of Score High Gunsmithing out of Albuquerque. Charley does extremely good work. I once shot a group with this rifle that measured .137" with 129gr Hornady Interlocks. Anyway, back to the colors. SS said it's a 50/50 red/black. This is the scheme I'm going with on my next project.



John

I thought that rifle looked familiar. That's the stock where the front action screw bushing kept sinking in and I had to repair it. Only glitch I've ever had with a McMillan stock but it's fixed now.

Are you guys sure about that?? John your stock looks darker to me. The stock in Doeslayer's post is "60% Burgundy, 20% Dark Grey and 20% White" and yours doesn't look as "purple" to me. Yours looks darker. Yours, I like very much BTW and may order one myself. Who is the guy from McMillan that post here, maybe he could help us.

I find these swirly combos interesting. Is there info somewhere showing what different mixes look like?

60% Dk Blue, 20% White and 20% Black, i should take a better pic, like the combo but the stock isnt working for me, my hands are to dang big for them to comfortably hold the thin wrist of the Mountain Rifle Stock, going to replace it next year, to dang close to hunting season to do it this year <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

If it is a short action let me know when you get ready to sell it.

Here's one I put together for myself using 80% olive and 20% black.

Karl, I love the looks of that rifle. I am going to build a chunk (read A-5) 223 Ackley like that in the very near future........Blake

Does anyone have a Swirly with 80% forest green, 20% black, or close to that? Could you post a pic?

Thanks,
Dogballs

[b]50/50 red/black[b]





John

Here is mine. Colors are 50% olive, 25% dark gray, and 25% light tan

Not 80/20, but here's mine, it's 50/20/20 Forest Green/black/grey

Hondo- I gotta say that "red" rifle of yours looks right up my alley and has gotta be a shooting son of a gun!

Mark D

They are all good looking rifles!!

I just ordered one Olive with 15% black, I did not know I could add other colors.....

I had one ondered but the order got canclled, I was going to go 80% Olive 20% black but now want to change. I need ideas, does anyone have any other pics?

thanks

How much does it usually cost to get the stock bedded?Any other cost in installing?

Does any one have a pic of Campfire camo anywhere?

That's okay, I found a pic of Jamisons rifles on one of the threads.

I'm new to this topic. How do you order these stocks or are they tuned up with colors in an after market way?
Do you all get them from McMillan just as you specify it in your order?
I have plans to let me build a custom rifle and I'm always interested in functional and good looking synthetic stocks.
Personnaly I have a Blaser R93 Professional with a synthetic stock in 6.5x55 Swed. Mauser.

Elmer,

You order them straight from McMillan that way. You just specify the color mix you want. I'm only on my second McSwirly, but am acquainted with several. McMillan does a great job of getting you what you ask for - just be sure you ask for what you want. I absolutely love mine, both of which are in this thread.

John

Uh, let me correct that a bit. The purpose of this thread is so that you can order them anywhere, but especially right here at 24hourcampfire:

https://www.24hourcampfire.com/cata...;osCsid=d275d5cb63a46893511cde6624bc33f7

where you will get them for a significant savings over McMillan retail direct.

We at 24hourcampfire are authorized McMillan dealers and have MANY McMillans in stock, and also handle hundreds of custom orders per year, includling molded-in colors as above.

We also do specialty and custom painting on McMillans, as so:

https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...showflat/Number/713395/page/1#Post713395

We does what we cans. Let me know how I can help, or PM DickD right here on this Board -- Dick Davis, the production manager at McMillan and a helluva nice guy to boot.

Rick

That absolutely needed correcting! . My last stock I ordered through Rick. The price was good, and service impeccable.

My humblest apologies to you, Rick.

John

I think when Hondo said "you order them straight from McMillan that way" he was answering the question "are they tuned up with colors in an after market way?" and not suggesting to ORDER directly from McMillan and bypass the campfire. But to a guy who's not in the loop, it could be construed that way.

it appears you are in fine fettle today, rick ...
good.

Has anyone have or seen a swirly flame pattern with olive/woodland beige/dark green or dark brown? I am trying to envision it as opposed to a regular swirly.

Doug~RR

I haven't seen anything like that although Stick had one that was a Desert flame. It looked good.

Hey that is only 90% -good looking rig anyway

I wished McMillan would have multiple brown shades available so we could order a stock that looked just like fine wood.

You may say I'm a dreamer...but I'm not the only one...

Didn't MC have wood grain stocks available?

Too bad that half the photos are missing. I can't decide if I want to go with a swirly. Pics sure help.

Found a site with quite a few McMillan patterns:

http://www.bryantcustom.com/galleries/rifles.htm

I posted a mcswirly thread a while agon, I will bump it up for ya.

Just got off the phone with McM and was told that they don't suggest doing white as the base color anymore as they have had complaints about it being partially transparent.

Have any of you experienced this problem?

Here's a picture of my McSwirely: 50% dark blue, 25% med gray, 25% black.

I've long been fond of that color combo and have one that is practically a duplicate. I can't claim to have come up with the scheme, but I like it nonetheless.

BCBrian,

We do have multiple shades of brown, Light Brown, Med Brown and Dark brown. Those colors mixed with a marble or "McSwirly" look like wood.

JPro,

I followed dogzapper's recipe for that stock. I believe he calls it his "blue meanine" in 223AI?

Leo

Something like that. Here's mine.

JPro,

Ahh, nice rig. I think we have very similar color schemes. It looks like you used white whereas I used med. gray.

I think it's light gray, but I didn't order it.

Does McMillan still offer the "Fibergrain" option or was that basically just a McSwirly in various shades of brown?

If it's just a brown McSwirly, what percentages of the various browns are recommended for a wood grain look?

Does anyone have any pictures of various wood-looking McSwirlys?

Thanks.

Not a Swirly and it's no longer avalible....

Dont they do the flame in brown which looks like wood?

wonder what red/pink and grape would come out like???

Cool Aid?
Randy

WOW!how much is one of those puppies?

cai

How do I order a stock thru 24Hour? I had no idea this was an option.

Thanks,
Brent

Brent and all:

BTW, it's the Holiday Season, no?

rb

on the order sheet there is a molded color option called " campfire camo" anyone got a picture of that?

Rick,

Been wondering how long the sale will continue. Any idea? Want one but am on the fence as to exactly what I want.

Thanks.

A Black and forest green combo catch my eye or both my eyes. Is there any combination that will make a .375 H&H hit harder?? ^^

Hawken, here is a pic of campfire camo

Any one have a 40/40/20 Gray, Light gray, Black they would care to share?

Thanks in advance,
Erich

Go 33% of each. you'll dig it.........

Got one to share?

Erich

Anyone do a woodland beige, olive and medium brown?

Yep

What % is that one if you remember?

60 Med brn, 20 Woodland, 20 Olive

50% black
25% dark grey
25% med tan

Stoney, don't be shy, post your other new stock also!

that doesnt match my curtains at all. major wow factor.

Guys, I don't have time to read this whole thread.

Does anyone have a pic of a WHOLE stock in 'MARBLE'?

That one has possibilities.

Thanks

"Marble" or "swirl" is just the technique, not the color scheme. Look at the stickies at the top of the Custom and Wildcat forum for lots of photos.

Remington Hunter pattern inleted for ADL TG, #5 BC, 14" LOP. Colors are 60% OD, 25% Black, and 15% Medium Gray.

Anyone got something like a 50% dark green, 25% black, 25% medium brown? Trying to picture how this combo would do in the pine forests around here.

Hey, I just finishing compiling a massive photo gallery of over 200 McMillan stocks to help people find their perfect color ratio. I thought you guys might find it helpful.

Check it out at http://precisionrifleblog.com/2013/07/03/200-mcmillan-stock-colors-photos/

Excellent resource. Thanks for doing this.
And I see one of my rifles in there.

Thank you for all of your hardwork. I hope you are on McMillians Christmas list. Because they owe you big time.

I guess just in case someone misses it in the other thread:

50% black, 25% medium grey, 25% light grey








This is the photo I sent McMillan for reference when I ordered my stock. I would have liked a little more of a "zerbra" stripe look, like the third one down. But I'm happy either way!

Cerakote has a color they call "McMillan Tan." Which tan is it? McMillan has several tans.

Separate question, because the answer may or may not be the same, which tan is this:

Not the original "Bomber" but the same recipe...

With McMillan gray cerakote.

What is the color ratio on that stock? Looks sharp.

No trainer solution 9.3x64 next choice any of the .375s from H&H up to RUM or 378 Weatherby. Once you get a 286 - 300 grain bullet over 2500 fps recoil starts to get significant. Over 3,000 fps it starts to really get my attention and not in a good way. Careful what you wish for.

I've stared at every picture I can find on the internet before I order. I'm thinking of 50% blk 25% drk gray 25% med gray anyone have one that could post a pic. I know the pattererns never turn out the same but the one I got this spring wasn't even close to what I was expecting.everyone. Thanks
