Browning Salt wood guns run from about 1967 to 71,72,depending on blanks left over. The "salt wood" came from the brine solution sold by the "Morton Salt Co" to "quick-dry" wood for many uses.
And of course,the years played it toll on the metal,both FN's ad Sako action rifles,as well as Superposed shotguns. If you ever wish to see a grown man cry,ask someone that has owned a Diana or Midas grade and left it in it's box for investment purposes...
Dealers have to watch for these,as well as collectors,the "salt-infested" guns will only bring about half of a clean gun,so that's why you see the prices all over the place..
