What is meant by the term Salt Browning?
During the time frame of 1966 to 1971 Browning salt cured (or salt dried if you prefer) their stocks. When rust problems began to arise, Browning offered to replace the "salt wood". You had to prove you were the original ower as the warranty didn't transfer to subsequent owners.
I have been told that Browning used salt cured Maple Wood for their stocks many years ago true or false?
Yes. From around 1967 to 1971. Most of the salt wood was used for high end stocks. Be careful to avoid buying on unless you want to spend an additional $500-700 of replacing the stock and forearm unless there is so much damage that the receiver steel cannot be repaired.

What is salt wood?
Between 1966 and 1972, the Morton Salt Company sold Browning a new salt method of "speed drying" walnut blanks when Browning's ability to provide kiln-dried wood couldn't keep up with demand. There was a down side to this process. It yielded a good many salt-filled stocks and/or forearms that resulted in rusting metal surfaces where there was wood/metal contact.
When did Browning start salt curring they're stocks and when did they stop What guns were affected?
From 1966-1972, the Morton Salt Company sold Browning a new salt method of "speed drying" walnut blanks. Thus, a lot of salt-filled stocks and/or forearms were used in production. The result was rusting metal surfaces where there was wood/metal contact. Models affected- Superposed and T-Bolts made between 1967-1973 should be looked at. Also, Safari, Medallion or Olympians made between 1967-1976; and any A5's 2,000,000 edition Commemoratives.

What is the value of a Browning 7 mm Remington mag made in Belgium with the numbers 58400 L70 stamped on the side in great shape?
Is your rifle a Safari, Medallion or Olympian Grade Bolt action? Assuming it is in absolute mint condition and no salt wood, the Safari is worth $850-$1050, Medallion grade $1,900-$2,100 and Olympian Grade $5,200-$5,800. The price range is based on condition of the rifle, wood grain and engravers (Olympian Grade). Your rifle is a short extractor model (1968-1975) which typically doesn't command the same price as the long extractor rifles (1960-1967) and it is a 7 mm. The 7 mm is one of the highest number produced calibers for that era rifle. One thing you need to do is test the wood with silver nitrate solution to find out if it is a salt wood rifle. Browning tried to cure the wood on their stocks quicker back in 1967-68 by putting a mound of salt on the stocks. The salt was pulled into the wood and now we have salt wood stocks. The majority of people will tell you that you only need to be concerned about salt wood from late 1968 to 1971. That is not true and I have prooved it. I have personally tested 1968-1974 rifles with salt wood stocks. Unfortunately, if it is a saltwood rifle you are looking at almost giving it away to get rid of it.
