Souvenir MAG-7 | BI83 Spectrum (Factory New)

Skin overview

MAG-7 | BI83 Spectrum covers the CT shotgun in a dark iridescent finish modelled on bismuth crystals, with stepped rectangular shapes running along the receiver. In Factory New the oil-slick sheen of purple, teal and green is unbroken, so the colour shifts cleanly as the weapon moves in your hands. This is the grade for buyers who want the crystal effect exactly as the artwork intends.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Counter-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: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver carries a dark base with an iridescent sheen of purple, teal, blue and green, laid out as stepped rectangular panels and lines that echo bismuth crystal growth. The barrel shroud and muzzle are dark with blue and violet tints catching the light near the front.

The iridescent coat is complete on every part, from the muzzle to the magazine. Edges of the receiver and the stepped panels are crisp, with no lighter metal showing. In game the colour shift reads smoothly at any distance. Everything looks clean, including the grey front grip.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

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

Holographic and foil stickers in purple, teal or green pick up the bismuth sheen well. Placed along the flat sides of the receiver they continue the colour shift instead of breaking it. Plain matte stickers in warm colours tend to look out of place.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float in Field-Tested looks close to Minimal Wear.
• Inspect the muzzle and the top edges of the receiver, as these lose colour first.
• Look at the magazine edges and panel corners on worn copies to judge how much sheen remains.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, because dark or busy stickers can clash with the iridescent body.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the iridescent coat completely untouched.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for holo or foil placements.
• The grade for the full, unbroken bismuth effect.
