Is the steel a source for rust, corrosion and problems with the surrounding materials? Can one actually see the ballast? Also, what is under the CB lanyard? The wooden block that covers the hole where the lanyard desends to the CB is detached and the hole is filled with leaves from outdoor storage. Is there an easy way to clean that out as it is a very small access? I am just starting to find out what this Monty is all about so please excuse what might seem like basic questions.

I know that the M15 and M17 were originally produced using iron punchings as ballast. Documentation from Jerry Montgomery on MSOG indicates that the ballast was changed to lead in 1987 for the M17. Was the ballast changed to lead at the same time for the M15? If not, was it ever changed to lead?
Thanks for any information
