This photo gallery contains McMillan marble stock pictures that have the “flame” finish.  McMillan’s flame marble stock finish (also somtimes called a fade finish) is made using three colors that transition from the lightest at one end of the stock to the darkest at the other end.  The dark end is typically at the butt of the rifle.  The gallery includes all colors of stocks with a flame finish.
