XM1014 | Scumbria (Factory New)

Skin overview

XM1014 | Scumbria is a Mil-Spec shotgun finish in cool steel blue and muted grey, with a fish ornament laid on in thin strokes of metallic paint. In Factory New the metallic sheen on the barrel and magazine tube is even and unbroken, and the faint pattern on the receiver stays readable up close.

Item type: shotgun. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The barrel and the magazine tube under it are painted in a deep steel blue with a metallic sheen and a light highlight along the top. The forend is a grey-brown sleeve with a ribbed section, contrasting with the darker blue-grey receiver, where a faint fish ornament is applied in thin metallic strokes. The pistol grip and the skeleton stock are light grey, with lighter edges outlining the stock. On worn copies the muzzle, the barrel edges, the forend ribs, the top rail and the stock edges lose their sheen first.

The metallic paint is uniform across the barrel, magazine tube and receiver, with no visible rubbing. The fish ornament on the receiver is at its sharpest. In game the shotgun reads as a clean, glossy blue-grey weapon. Every part, including the stock edges and forend ribs, looks fresh.

Stickers and crafts

Stickers in blue, silver, white or muted grey tones blend with the metallic palette. Placing them on the receiver or forend keeps the barrel line clean, while a single warm accent such as orange can work as deliberate contrast.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade keep more metallic sheen.
• Inspect the muzzle, barrel edges, forend ribs and stock outline, as these lose their finish first.
• Look at the receiver closely to see how readable the fish ornament still is on your copy.
• Review any applied stickers and name tag, because they change the restrained look of this finish.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the metallic sheen and the fish ornament at their clearest.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean blue-grey base.
• Conclusion: the grade for those who want Scumbria exactly as designed.
