[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 2913816, member: 68542"] Browning had a period from 66-71 where they imported a ton of stock wood, some extremely high grade (Olympic grade shotguns, etc) and they cured it by stacking it in piles and dumping a ton of salt on it. The top layers cured fine but the lower layers basically became imbued with a salty brine. Then they used this wood for 5 years to make rifles and shotguns, and many guns were arriving to the showrooms already rusty. You couldn’t tell unless you took the gun apart to see if the metal contacting the wood was surface rusting yet or not, but those stocks killed thousands and thousands of shotguns and rifles. Browning had a blanket recall for a long time if you came across a salt wood rifle, but that’s long since past. So buying brownings from that era require a thorough inspection and disassembly to make sure it’s not a salty boy. And finding an original stocked browning from that era is fairly rare because of this. [/QUOTE]
