AK-47 Case Hardened Guide: Blue Gem Patterns & "The Scar" #661
Master Guide to AK-47 Case Hardened Blue Gem Patterns & "The Scar" #661
Understanding Blue Gem Patterns
All other patterns, except for #661, are divided into three tiers by the amount of blue colour on the weapon finish. But at the same time, this blue is taken into account only on the central part of the gun's case and the mag. Blue spots on the barrel's end and the buttstock's back do not affect the tier.
AK-47 Blue Gem Classifications
The AK-47 Case Hardened features several highly sought-after Blue Gem patterns, which can be categorized into different ranks based on their blue coverage on the central part of the gun's case and magazine. The legendary "Scar" pattern stands alone as the most valuable AK-47 Case Hardened pattern in existence.
