Before you buy it you better be sure it's not a salt wood gun....one of the worst salt wood guns I ever saw was a a Browning Safari FN/98 action.
I would ask to take it out of the stock and check for signs of rust.

Arts gun shop in Missouri sells a chemical test to test the stock to see if it was one of the salt cured stocks......check out Arts videos on Youfube he explains about Brownings use of salt cured walnut in the 1960s.
Taking it out of the stock and looking for any signs of rust where wood meets metal is a pretty good test.
