Souvenir G3SG1 | Hunter (Factory New)

Skin overview

G3SG1 | Hunter is a gunsmith-style finish that pairs a black base with dark wood paneling on the handguard, magazine and stock. In Factory New the wood grain is even and the reddish-brown tone stays deep, so the rifle has the look of a well-kept hunting gun. The black metal parts keep a uniform surface with no grey showing through.

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

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

Other qualities of this skin: Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver, barrel, scope and pistol grip are finished in plain black, close to the stock look of the rifle. The handguard carries wood panels in a reddish-brown mahogany tone, split by a darker diagonal band, and the same wood covers the magazine and the stock.

The wood panels are smooth with an even tone and a clearly visible grain. The black receiver, barrel and scope have no visible marks. In game the rifle looks clean and uniform at any distance. Every part, including the magazine and stock edges, is intact.

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Stickers and crafts

Stickers in brown, gold, cream or black tones blend with the wood and metal without breaking the traditional look. Placements on the black receiver stand out more clearly than those on the wood panels, so a single muted sticker there often works better than several bright ones.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the condition of the wood panels changes noticeably across the range.
• Inspect the handguard panel edges and the bottom of the magazine, as these lose finish first.
• Look at the receiver and scope mount edges for lighter metal showing through the black.
• Note any stickers or name tag, and decide whether they suit the wooden look.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the wood grain and black metal in their cleanest state.
• Sticker crafters who need an unmarked base for a careful layout.
• The choice for those who want the finish exactly as designed.
