Yes, it was a wood supplier that used the salt-curing process. Browning got a bunch of their wood, and it was particularly a problem with their high-grade guns because they used fancy wood, which takes longer to dry than plain-grade wood, so was more often salt-cured.
But the same supplier also sold wood to several other firearms manufacturers, and they got "salted" too. This took place in the late 60's and early 70's, as I recall.
