MAG-7 | Memento (Factory New)

Skin overview

MAG-7 | Memento is a Mil-Spec Grade hydrographic that covers the shotgun in a dark gunmetal base with a fine geometric lattice and sparse orange accents. In Factory New the thin lines of the pattern stay crisp, and the orange outline emblem on the receiver reads sharply against the grey. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the geometry exactly as drawn.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

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

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear and Field-Tested.

Appearance in Factory New

The whole MAG-7 is wrapped in a dark gunmetal grey covered with a dense geometric lattice of lighter grey lines and shapes. On the receiver the pattern carries an orange outline emblem, and thin orange strokes run along the top near the rail and around the trigger guard and magazine well. The barrel and muzzle stay mostly dark, while the front grip and the magazine continue the grey lattice down to the lighter metal base of the magazine. The overall look is restrained, with orange used as a small highlight rather than a main colour. On worn copies the paint goes first from the muzzle, the edges of the top rail, the underside of the front grip and the bottom of the magazine, where bare metal starts to show through.

The lattice lines are sharp across the receiver, front grip and magazine, and the orange emblem has clean edges. The muzzle and the rail edges keep their dark coat. In game the skin reads as an even grey surface with a clear orange mark on the side. Nothing on the weapon looks touched.

Factory New wear: float 0.02–0.07

StatTrak™ and Souvenir

There is also a the StatTrak™ version: the counter on the weapon tracks kills. Right now it is 2× dearer than the regular one. There is also a the Souvenir version with tournament stickers.

Which stickers suit it

Orange, copper and black stickers match the accents and the dark base without breaking the restrained look. Placing them on the magazine or the rear of the receiver keeps the orange emblem visible.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float within the chosen wear, since the lowest copies of each grade keep the muzzle and rail edges cleaner.
• Check the muzzle, the top rail and the bottom of the magazine on the inspect screen, as these parts lose paint first.
• Make sure the orange emblem on the receiver is not covered by stickers if you want to keep the main detail visible.
• Decide whether you need the StatTrak™ or Souvenir version, as both exist for this skin.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the geometric lattice with no marks at all.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean dark base for orange or metallic stickers.
• In short, the grade for a flawless finish.
