In the late '60's ( most folks say 1968), Browning was having a hard time finding sufficient cured, dried wood for stocks.. They tried a process that soaked blanks in a salt solution which was designed to draw water out of the blanks. After a few years the residual salts in the stocks began to rust the metal in the guns. Most folks think the period was from 1968 to 1971. If you Google "Browning Salt Wood" there is lots of info.
