I believe the salt wood issues mainly involved the bolt action rifles of the late 60s

I have never seen salt on the Auto 5, but have had it on Safari and Medallion grade high power rifles, as well as a Superposed and a T-Bolt .22. The rough years were '67 to '69.

Very pretty, thanks for that picture!
