MAG-7 | Carbon Fiber (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This MAG-7 keeps its recognisable carbon weave and graphite tones, so the overall look is the same dark, utilitarian finish. In Minimal Wear the differences come down to faint light marks on edges and corners, which are hard to spot at normal distance. It is the practical way to get the same skin for a lower outlay.

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

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The receiver is covered with a dense black carbon fiber weave over a graphite base, with darker plates and vents standing out on the upper body. The pump grip and the barrel shroud are left in plain light grey metal, while the barrel itself is dark with a lighter muzzle.

In Minimal Wear small light scuffs can appear on the receiver edges and the magazine corners. The pump and muzzle may show slight marks where the metal is exposed. The weave across the flat parts of the receiver still looks clean. At normal distance in game it is very close to Factory New.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.12

The whole float range of MAG-7 | Carbon Fiber is 0–0.12; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.12 segment (42% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the range, since lower values keep the edges darker.
• Look at the receiver edges and magazine corners, as these lose the finish first.
• Inspect the pump and muzzle for light scuffs on exposed metal.
• Review any applied stickers or name tag, because they stand out strongly on the dark weave.
