Picked up 3 last week. One rusty bore, one loose stock, and one beat up wood. All three cleaned up and test fired safely. Took the advice of some other forum members and bought a "Tornado brush" , wow that thing is tits for cleaning nasty barrels. Pretty happy with the rifles for what they cost. But if I had bought just one and it was rusty, would have been pissed lol. I know RTI is an awful company, but for me the gamble paid off.
