Skin description

AK-47 | Cartel is a sleek, engraved take on CS’s most iconic rifle, introduced with the Chroma 2 Case in April 2015. This AK-47 has been finished in a “Gunsmith” style with the Cartel finish: dark, polished metal plates etched with skulls, serpents, and floral filigree while the stock and handguard retain their natural wood, giving a refined cartel-weapon vibe. The contrast between blackened steel and warm timber highlights the rifle’s classic lines. It’s a long-time favorite for minimalist, premium builds. In Factory New condition, the engraving is razor-sharp and the furniture pristine: no edge wear on the receiver, sights, or magwell, and the gloss remains uniform, delivering a clean showpiece that pairs old-world ornament with modern firepower.
