M4A1-S | Leaded Glass (Minimal Wear)

The M4A1-S | Leaded Glass in Minimal Wear (MW) costs almost the same as Field-Tested. Its float runs from 0.07 to 0.15, on a scale that tops out at 0.70. It is a Classified rank skin from The Spectrum 2 Collection and drops from the Spectrum 2 Case.

What the M4A1-S | Leaded Glass looks like in Minimal Wear

The skin breaks into colored glass shards with black bridges running between them. The colors are orange, yellow, red, turquoise and blue. The suppressor is painted whole, and so are the receiver sides, the grip and the stock, while the ribbed handguard and the magazine stay dark.

In Minimal Wear the bridges are thin and mostly intact, with only the first light spots on the end of the suppressor and the corners of the stock. The large colored segments inside are untouched.

Where the M4A1-S | Leaded Glass came from

The Spectrum 2 Collection, with this skin in it, came out on September 14, 2017. In the Steam Workshop the credit goes to de puiseau, and in the Valve catalog the finish carries the number 681.

The dense stained glass narrows the choice of stickers: black and white ones show, while colored ones drown in the shards. The pattern lies less thickly on the stock than on the receiver side.

Who this wear suits

Minimal Wear on the M4A1-S | Leaded Glass is a reasonable buy if:

• you want an M4A1-S for CS2 with intact bridges, but the price of Factory New, 2.8 times higher, does not suit you;


• it matters that Field-Tested costs almost the same, and the differences along the edges are minimal here;


• the narrow 0.07 to 0.15 band is fine in place of shopping by float.
