I've seen this happen before. If you put Savages in a Browning gun safe it will cause a metallurgical reaction.
The safe is actually trying to vomit those guns out by eating it's own hinges off. ...
Sorry, no Savages were in there... Only thing it could have been was an H&R Handi Rifle?
A fair bit of rust going on there.
I noticed that, also.
Almost looks like saltwater corrosion, or something?-though I doubt that is the cause.
If the metal was prepped and clean prior to welding, and if the weld had gotten proper penetration, that would not have happened. It was a poor weld.
Safe resides in my back porch, while it's not climate controlled it doesn't go through temp extremes either. Little humidity in the summer and I run a golden rod and a small light bulb also when it's humid.
Fairly obvious the humidity/moisture had it's free will as there wasn't any penetration as has been stated.
ps: Have no opinion on anything else Browning, wouldn't mind an A5 but other than that for the most part they don't do anything for me.
