Galil AR | Winter Forest (Factory New)

Skin overview

Galil AR | Winter Forest is a snow camouflage finish: patches of white, pale grey and black cover the rifle, with a light beige handguard and grip. In Factory New the hydrographic print sits whole and crisp, so the black blotches have clean edges against the white. This grade suits a buyer who wants the winter pattern exactly as designed.

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.

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, magazine and stock are covered with a hydrographic snow camouflage of white, light grey and black irregular patches. The large cylindrical handguard and the pistol grip are a smooth pale beige, while the barrel, muzzle device and top rails stay dark metal. The pattern is applied as a print, so the patches wrap around each part and differ from one side of the rifle to the other. On worn copies the paint first chips at the handguard edges, the magazine corners, the rear sight and the raised edges of the receiver, exposing darker metal underneath.

The print is complete on every part, with sharp borders between the white, grey and black patches. The beige handguard and grip are smooth and even in tone. In game the rifle reads as a bright, clean white camo. Nothing on the receiver, magazine or stock shows chipping.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since chipping on the beige handguard and magazine grows quickly in the worse half of each grade.
• Look at the handguard rim and magazine corners in the inspect view, as these show wear first.
• Souvenir copies come with pre-applied stickers that cannot be chosen, so check that they suit you.
• Note any stickers or name tag already on the rifle and whether they fit the white colour scheme.
