StatTrak™ MAC-10 | Pipe Down (Factory New)

Skin overview

MAC-10 | Pipe Down is a Restricted SMG finish that makes the compact receiver look like a cutaway filled with red tubes. In Factory New the dark body stays deep and even, and the red pipes keep their full, saturated colour with crisp edges. It is the version where the illusion of looking inside the weapon works best.

Item type: smg. 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 same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver is painted dark gunmetal with openings that reveal a bundle of red pipes running lengthwise along the body. At the rear the tubing bends into a loop over the top of the frame, and the threaded barrel tip and trigger guard are painted in the same red.

The dark receiver and red pipes are clean, with no visible scratches on edges or tubing. The red barrel tip and trigger guard keep their full colour. In game the cutaway effect looks sharp and the tubes stand out clearly against the body. Everything, including the grey magazine, looks untouched.

Stickers and crafts

Red, black and white stickers match the pipe artwork and the dark receiver best. Placing them on the upper receiver works with the tubing, while metallic or grey stickers blend with the light magazine.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the red tubes and receiver edges show the difference most.
• Look at the barrel tip and rear pipe loop on inspect, as these raised parts lose colour first.
• The pattern does not change the design much, so condition matters more than pattern placement.
• Check applied stickers and name tags, and whether you need a StatTrak™ or Souvenir version.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the red pipes and dark body in their cleanest state.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for red or black combinations.
• The choice for those who want the cutaway effect at its sharpest.
