Right, the bog is a great place to preserve things (other than bone which dissolves). Notice that the ammo wasn't corroded and that the gun wasn't rusty and still had paint in good shape.
This isn't a testament to the manufacturing of the gun as much as to the preservative condition of the bog.
So yeah, a modern day firearm would likely do as well.
