I would like to restore a gun. Help

[drgoose]

Hello, I have been lurking around for a while and I find it SO COOL what some of you guys are able to do with rifles that are caked in gunk and look like a stampede of yaks walked on them. I would like to learn how to do this so I am looking for a cheap rifle to learn on.

I would like to end up with a shooter at the end of the day and if possible try to avoid having to form my own cases from shotgun shells.

Any recomendations regarding which rifle to tackle as a first project?
Would a Gahendra or a Brunswick from IMA be a good option?

Thanks in advance
