Rust Tempered Skin AK

Tempered AK: the heated-steel skin on Rust's AK, hand-painted as a 1:1 lifesize prop at the full 75cm. Printed in PLA and airbrushed in our Bavarian workshop, with the stock fitted, finished for display rather than play.

The colours steel takes when you heat it

Nothing on it stays one colour for long. Tempered is what happens to steel under heat, and the skin runs the whole scale. Magenta and violet sit at the stock, the receiver moves from red into orange into yellow and on to yellow-green, and the rings on the gas tube stop in that same yellow-green. The handguard runs the sequence again on its own, blue to violet to red to orange, while the barrel comes out of a deep blue and finishes orange at the muzzle. The magazine and the grip are the only parts left out of it, dark gunmetal with the edges brushed silver. Fine pale scratches cross the colour. A real bandage sits on the magazine and real tape at the back of the stock, both painted over like the rest.

The full AK, at 75cm

In Rust it's officially the Assault Rifle (AR), though most players just say AK or AK-47. This is the long build with the stock fitted, 75cm end to end. The detail is printed into the part.

Hand-made in Bavaria

Every Tempered AK is printed in PLA, airbrushed and sealed in our workshop. The magazine comes out and goes back in. On a desk, on a shelf or behind a stream: official Rust merchandise built to last for years.

What players ask about the Tempered AK

What is the Tempered skin in Rust? An AK skin that copies the colours heated steel takes on: violet and magenta at the stock, red, orange and yellow across the receiver, deep blue along the barrel. The magazine and grip stay dark metal.

Can I take the magazine out? Yes, it slides out and goes back in. Handy for photos or for changing the display angle.

How is it different from the Default AK? Same 75cm body, different paint. The Default shows the bare build; the Tempered runs the gradient over the whole piece and deliberately leaves the magazine and grip out of it.
