Looking to put my new GAP build in a McM A5 and need to make up my mind on color. Any pics would be awesome!

I originally ordered 34/33/33 OD/tan/earth but got talked into 50/25/25 OD/tan/earth. The finished stock did not turn out like I wanted which was more tan and earth but I have grown to like it. It is difficult to envision what the mix ratio will turn out!

I think yours looks great! I wanted mine to be mostly green with some tan and black. I think mine is 75-80% green, I forgot which. I think I like yours even better than mine!

Here's some closeups of the marbling on mine:

45.308, don't second guess yourself, bc your setup is sweet. Those colors are wild; I really like it.

My humble stick. Not a safe queen by any means, but it shoots well.
