the reason why it looks like that is because whatever it is made of i think its steel is because i kept it in my house and then put if in the garage and its from the humidity, i cleaned it off with a bench grinder and looks brand new im going to post new pics of it when i get a chance, and i cant go any lower than 100, i paid 279 for it not to long ago and im already losing alot on it, i know this is TR and how it is around here
