How the skin looks in Factory New

The receiver and handguard carry a pale, grayscale metallic flake paint, with a red diamond pattern near the front of the handguard and ZENO lettering on the side of the receiver. The skeleton stock repeats the light base and adds red geometric accents near the butt, while the grip stays in a muted grey. The barrel, muzzle brake, bipod and scope remain dark, which frames the light body of the rifle. On worn copies the paint goes first on the handguard edges, the stock corners and the raised parts around the bolt, then the red details and lettering start to rub off.

The flake paint is intact across the receiver, handguard and stock, and the metallic sheen is even. The red diamonds and ZENO lettering have crisp edges. In game the rifle reads as bright and clean from any angle.

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the pale base shows scuffs more clearly than darker finishes.
• Look at the handguard edges and stock corners in the inspect view, as these lose paint first.
• Make sure the red diamonds and ZENO lettering look the way you want, because they rub off on worn copies.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag and decide whether they fit the light colour scheme.
