Just bought a nice TX200, with almost new CS500 stock, all the visible bluing in very good condition.
On removing the stock there is a thin strip where the stock meets, where the finish looks like its rubbed of, and marked corrosion and loss of finish near the end of the cylinder, even the back block securing nut seems to have lost its finish. It seem like everything that has some contact with the stock has been affected in some way, makes me wonder if there is some thing in the stock oil. Perhaps a more plausible explanation is that it was put away wet in a previous stock, but its a strange presentation.
Im in two minds about returning it, but really all the visible parts are good, and has a WW kit, and Rowan trigger.
Anyone else with something similar?
