i dont think ive had a problem with rust on the steel yet, but mine are inside the house.... but the temp swing is between 65* and 98*. interesting the climate changes 30ish miles make between your place and mine. When i take them out camping i try to be mindfull, thinkin of taking one to pismo next week and may have to slather it up in gun oil to protect it from the salty beach air.

that slant 228 is my favorite, haven't ran it yet with the mica.....

I kinda lost track Pop, but I estimate 25 including a case or 2 and a pedal car. Less stuff to move east!

Made it worth all that heat and sleepless nights.


Also, I wandered the camp just before dinners dispensing shots of Hungarian pear pálinka. Might have been a factor in sales...

I believe you have yourself "a real find" there!

Surprisingly not, just needed a new cap washer. Maybe the old veteran pulled it out from time to time.
