AK-47 | Panthera onca (Battle-Scarred)

This is the AK-47 | Panthera onca in Battle-Scarred (BS). The wear shows at once: the camouflage on the metal is rubbed away at the edges, and the wood carries marks of use. Classified rank, The Ancient Collection. The skin has no regular case.

What the AK-47 | Panthera onca looks like in Battle-Scarred

The finish rests on three things: camouflage, carving and the jaguar. The camouflage on the metal is sand-gold with olive blotches. The stock and handguard are wood, dark brown and carved. A jaguar with black spots is drawn on the receiver. The black barrel looks sharp against the gold metal.

In Battle-Scarred the wear runs the whole length of the rifle: the painted metal lightens along the edges, and the carved pattern on the wood loses its definition. The jaguar on the flat side of the receiver holds up longer than the small details. The float runs from 0.45 to 1.00, stretched wide, and you can see it on inspection.

What to check before buying

When picking a listing for the AK-47 | Panthera onca, this is what matters:

• float: the band covers more than half the scale, and the lots at the ends look different;


• the state of the jaguar on the receiver and of the carving on the stock;


• the name tag and stickers the AK-47 | Panthera onca already carries, which leave with the listing.

The artwork of the AK-47 | Panthera onca is fixed and does not depend on the copy.

Stickers and craft on the AK-47 | Panthera onca

Worn camouflage leaves more free background than intact camouflage: the rubbed-away spots do not compete with a sticker. Gold and brown stickers match the wood, and white ones show on the dark parts. It is better not to cover the jaguar on the receiver.

Who this wear suits

Buying the AK-47 | Panthera onca in Battle-Scarred makes sense when:

• you want an AK with a jaguar priced below the other wears of the skin;


• scuffs on the metal and the wood do not bother you;


• in CS2 a recognizable artwork matters more to you than factory cleanness.

If you want less wear, Minimal Wear costs almost twice as much.
