Souvenir M4A1-S | Blood Tiger (Factory New)

Skin overview

M4A1-S | Blood Tiger is a Mil-Spec hydrographic finish that covers the rifle in a grey-olive base with dark tiger stripes and bright red streaks. In Factory New the red stays saturated and the stripe edges are sharp, so the pattern reads as a clean, deliberate print from the silencer to the stock.

Item type: rifle. 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.

The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Factory New

The silencer, handguard, receiver, magazine and stock are wrapped in a grey-olive hydrographic with dark wavy tiger stripes. Red streaks run across the pattern, most visible on the silencer, the magazine and the lower receiver.

The print is intact on every part of the rifle. The red streaks keep full saturation and the tiger stripes have crisp edges. In game the finish reads as an even olive-grey pattern with clear red highlights. Nothing on the silencer, magazine or stock shows wear.

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

Red, black and dark olive stickers blend well with the tiger pattern and repeat its red streaks. Matte or holo stickers in red tones placed on the receiver side support the artwork without covering the busiest part of the print.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a lower value keeps the silencer and magazine edges cleaner.
• Look at the silencer tip and magazine edges first, as these are the parts that lose the print earliest.
• Compare the placement of the red streaks between copies, because the hydrographic shifts how much red shows on the silencer and magazine.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag so the item matches the look you want.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the sharpest stripes and fully saturated red.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for red and black combinations.
• A choice for those who value the print in its most complete form.
