Just how long did this thing lie in it's box anyway for this to happen? I'm not sure if I should send it back or not, since there are no other Rossis in Finland to be had, beyond the few that make it in somehow. Yeah, Rossis are pretty rare in Finland, no dealers around here I only found one in a finnish gunshop by accident, he had two brought from Germany, it was NIB so I bought it online and didn't inspect it visually. Another thing I noticed about it that I did not expect was the lack of a manual safety:

Now here's what I see when I open up the action:

I'm not sure how much of this is rust and how much is the yellowish sticky stuff the gun seems to be coated in.
Moving on to the stocks:

So yeah... I dunno, I wasn't expecting the bestest rifle in the world, but I didn't expect it to suffer rust problems out of the box either, or that the wood was gonna be that bad, looks like it'd barely do for kindling.
