M4A1-S | Liquidation (Factory New)

Skin overview

M4A1-S | Liquidation is a custom paint job on a dark base, with red and blue highlights traced along the contours so the rifle looks lit from the side. In Factory New every outline stays sharp and the colour transitions between blue and red read cleanly from the suppressor to the stock. This is the grade for buyers who want the glow effect exactly as the artwork intends.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-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 whole rifle is painted in a dark blue-black tone, with red and blue highlights running along the edges and contours as if lit from two sides. The ribbed handguard shifts toward violet-blue, while the receiver, carry handle and front sight are outlined with thin red and blue lines. The magazine and stock follow the same scheme: dark surfaces with coloured trim on every edge. The suppressor and pistol grip stay in plain dark tones and frame the colourful middle of the weapon. On worn copies the paint goes first on the edges of the carry handle, the handguard ribs, the magazine bottom and the stock corners, which are exactly where the highlights sit.

The red and blue outlines are continuous on every edge, from the front sight to the stock. Dark surfaces are even with no scratches. In game the glow effect looks exactly as on the preview. Nothing on the rifle shows wear.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in red, blue or dark holo tones match the two-colour lighting of the finish. Placements on the receiver side work best when they sit on the dark flat area and leave the coloured outlines visible.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float within the chosen wear, because the edge highlights are what wears first and define the look of this skin.
• Inspect the carry handle, handguard ribs and magazine bottom in the inspect view to see how much of the red and blue trim is left.
• Check whether the copy is StatTrak™ or Souvenir and whether it already has stickers or a name tag.
• Make sure any applied stickers do not cover the receiver outlines if you value the glow effect.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the edge lighting intact on every part.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean dark base for a colour-matched setup.
• In short: the full version of the design for those who care about every outline.
