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.

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=d275d5cb63a46893511cde6624bc33f7where 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#Post713395We 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.

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.

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

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

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

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?

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?

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