The gun is complete and appears to be in good shootable condition. Heck, the buttplate is even still whole! The issues with this gun look to be mostly just cosmetic.

The paint will clean off relatively easily and then you can see what you are left with. Likely the gun will need to have its barrels blued at the minimum. Or you will be oiling it like crazy to keep it from rusting.

The paint should come off easily with cotton balls and a bottle of nail polish remover. I have removed a couple of home done camo paint jobs this way and it's fast and easy.
For crud and rust you just can't beat Frontier pad and solvent or oil of your choice. After you get it clean, wipe the gun down with a good coat of RIG and you won't have to worry about rust. Good luck with it., Joe
