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.

Salt wood and browning co story?
The term "Salt Wood" is due to wood having been cured by salt. The long range effect that salt had on the gun metal resulted in rusting and pitting of the metal. Salt wood resulted from a process used on some Brownings to speed up the curing time of wood used for gunstocks. The salt would draw out the moisture and speed up the drying process. Some of the salt residue remained in the wood grain and caused damage where the metal and wood made contact. The wood was from a supplier to Fabrique Nationale at the time, around 1965. FN made the guns for Browning, and had no idea of the impact that it would cause. Browning recommends checking Superposed shotguns and T-Bolts made between 1967-1973. Also Belgian made Bolt Rifles made between 1967-1976. Other models could also be affected.
