stevek Gold Trader Feedback View Feb 5, 2008 #14 It doesn't look good, but as said whip the bb out and have a look from inside if you don't want to strip the paint off. Best of luck fella.

SLIM BoTM Winner Feb 6, 2008 #16 kev, i think you`ll probably find a "rust worm" under there , had them all over the rear end of the RTS before i stripped it long lines of rust , but not too deep into the metal

I scratched all mine off and found nothing more than a tiny amount of rust. It's now with Bob Jackson having a full strip and respray.
