AK-47 | First Class (Factory New)

Skin overview

AK-47 | First Class is a Restricted rifle finish in dark green leather wrap and plain grey metal. In Factory New the leather on the handguard and stock keeps an even tone and a visible fine grain, and the metal shows no scratches. It is a quiet, tidy version of the rifle.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The handguard and the stock are wrapped in dark green leather with a fine grain texture. The receiver, top cover, gas tube and magazine are a plain gunmetal grey, and the barrel and front sight are dark. The pistol grip keeps a reddish-brown wooden tone that stands out against the green and grey. On worn copies the leather edges, the stock heel and the corners of the handguard lighten first, followed by scratches on the receiver and the magazine.

The leather on the handguard and stock is uniform in colour, with no light patches. The receiver and magazine are clean grey with no scratches. In game the rifle looks crisp and even from any angle. Every part looks as on the clean preview.
