Souvenir Galil AR | Stone Cold (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Galil AR finish uses cold metallic blue against dark grey, which gives it a restrained, technical look. In Minimal Wear the blue still looks almost untouched from the player's view. Small marks stay on the outer edges and are easy to miss in a match.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

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

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

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The receiver, barrel shroud and front sight are painted metallic blue with darker blue shading and pale highlights along the edges. The handguard is dark grey and ribbed, framed by bright blue rings and trim.

Tiny scuffs may appear on the muzzle and the bottom edge of the magazine. The receiver, handguard and stock remain clean. At normal distance in game the difference from Factory New is hard to see. The designer's mark and the blue trim stay intact.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir Galil AR | Stone Cold is 0–0.9; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (9% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

What it costs in each quality

By price this skin is 4th of 6 skins Restricted Galil AR in this quality (the first being the dearest).

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.

Which stickers suit it

Blue, silver, white and holo stickers match the cold metallic scheme. Placements on the receiver above the magazine work best, as the blue there is the largest uninterrupted area.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, because low floats in Field-Tested and Well-Worn keep noticeably more blue on the edges.
• Inspect the magazine edges, the muzzle and the handguard rings, since these lose paint first.
• Look at whether the designer's mark on the stock is still intact on more worn copies.
• Review any applied stickers and name tag, and decide whether you want a StatTrak™ or Souvenir version.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafters who accept tiny edge marks.
• Conclusion: a balanced pick close to Factory New in game.
