With a nice glossy paint job and some bondo the weld looked great, but what was just revealed it was barely and I mean barely welded on. I'm not what you call an accomplished welder. But I made better looking beads than that on my first attempts back in high school metal shop. The robot welder probably joined the union that day and felt it could get away with shoddy work.

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?

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. Life is just one damned thing after another
