AK-47 | Safari Mesh (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Safari Mesh dresses the AK-47 in faded field colours with a net pattern that looks like it was sprayed through fencing. In Field-Tested the paint starts to thin on edges and raised parts, which suits the improvised stencil style. The overall camouflage still reads clearly from normal distance.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The whole rifle is painted in a muted olive-khaki base with a darker hexagonal mesh sprayed on top. The mesh is easiest to see on the stock, the handguard and the curved magazine, where it forms a fine honeycomb net.

Wear becomes visible on the magazine edges, the sights, the top of the dust cover and the corners of the stock. The mesh on the flat parts of the stock and handguard still reads clearly. In game the camouflage looks slightly faded but complete. The stencil patches lose some sharpness at their edges.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the clean end of a grade look noticeably neater.
• Look at the magazine edges and the sights first, as they show wear before other parts.
• Check applied stickers and name tags, because they can change the look of a plain finish strongly.
• On Souvenir copies, see whether the stickers suit the muted olive palette.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who want a complete-looking AK-47 skin on a budget.
• Fans of a used field look that matches the stencil theme.
• Conclusion: a practical everyday choice.
