Not sure about the salt wood manufacture dates, but there's no problem with that stock. 40+ years and no corrosion = good to go.

Same opinion here. See no evidence of salt stock on those bare metal images. I'd buy it.

The Browning salt curing process began in 1966 and went on until 1971. Your '66 rifle certainly looks to pre-date the start of the troublesome process. Good luck.
