Galil AR | Grey Smoke (Factory New)

Skin overview

Galil AR | Grey Smoke covers the rifle in a grayscale hydrographic pattern of soft, smoky blotches, with no colour accents at all. In Factory New the grey tones stay even and the pattern edges look crisp across the receiver, handguard and magazine. It is a quiet, monochrome finish for players who want the Galil AR to look tidy rather than loud.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The receiver, handguard and magazine are covered in a hydrographic print of mottled grey, from near-black to pale ash, forming soft, irregular smoke-like patches. The ribbed handguard and the curved magazine show the pattern most clearly because of their large surfaces. The stock appears as a dark grey polymer and the pistol grip has a muted brownish-grey tone, while the barrel, muzzle device and rails stay dark metal. On worn copies the print fades first on the magazine edges and base, the front of the handguard and the raised ribs and rails, where lighter metal begins to show.

The grey print is intact on every part, with clean transitions between light and dark patches. The magazine edges and handguard ribs show no scuffs. In game the rifle looks uniformly smoky and matte. Everything from the receiver to the magazine base looks fresh.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade show noticeably less scuffing.
• Check the magazine edges and the front of the handguard, as these lose the print first.
• For Souvenir copies, check the pre-applied stickers and their condition, since they cannot be changed.
• Look over any applied stickers or name tag to make sure they suit the grey, colourless finish.
