Appearance in Factory New

The barrel, muzzle brake and bipod stay dark gunmetal, giving the rifle a neutral front end. The receiver and slotted handguard carry dark grey and steel-blue tones with the halftone texture running across them. The stock, cheek rest and frame are covered in a teal-green whorl made of fine dots, and the grip and scope mounts are painted a deeper blue-teal. On worn copies the spray paint chips first along the handguard edges, the stock outline, the grip and the scope rings, exposing darker metal underneath.

The halftone dots are sharp and evenly spaced across the stock and handguard. Edges, grip and scope mounts show no chips. In game the rifle reads as a smooth teal-and-grey weapon with a visible swirl texture up close. Everything on the model looks clean.
