Salt wood and browning co story?
The term "Salt Wood" is due to wood having been cured by salt. The long range effect that salt had on the gun metal resulted in rusting and pitting of the metal. Salt wood resulted from a process used on some Brownings to speed up the curing time of wood used for gunstocks. The salt would draw out the moisture and speed up the drying process. Some of the salt residue remained in the wood grain and caused damage where the metal and wood made contact. The wood was from a supplier to Fabrique Nationale at the time, around 1965. FN made the guns for Browning, and had no idea of the impact that it would cause. Browning recommends checking Superposed shotguns and T-Bolts made between 1967-1973. Also Belgian made Bolt Rifles made between 1967-1976. Other models could also be affected.
What is a 12 GA superposed with a mild rust due to salt wood stock worth?
The value of a 12 gauge superposed shotgun with a mild rust due to salt on the wood stock can vary depending on the extent of the damage and the overall condition of the gun. In general, rust can significantly reduce the value of a firearm, especially if it affects the functionality or aesthetics of the gun. It is recommended to have a gunsmith inspect the shotgun to assess the extent of the damage and provide an accurate valuation.
When did Browning start salt curring they're stocks and when did they stop What guns were affected?
From 1966-1972, the Morton Salt Company sold Browning a new salt method of "speed drying" walnut blanks. Thus, a lot of salt-filled stocks and/or forearms were used in production. The result was rusting metal surfaces where there was wood/metal contact. Models affected- Superposed and T-Bolts made between 1967-1973 should be looked at. Also, Safari, Medallion or Olympians made between 1967-1976; and any A5's 2,000,000 edition Commemoratives.

What is the approximate value and history of a Belgium made Browning 12 gauge serial 292926 with a choke on the barrel in good condition?
The original question referenced a ventilated rib on this shotgun. PLEASE, people, if you change these questions make sure you include ALL the information given - it makes a difference. You have a Browning Superposed made by FN in Belgium for sale by Browning. It was made in 1961, and should be the 'round knob/long-tang' configuration. That means the pistol grip is rounded on the bottom instead of squared, and the trigger guard extends down the front of the pistol grip. These are collectable shotguns, and being a 20ga makes it a bit more valuable than a standard 12ga. Possible value, depending on condition, originality and features can approach $2000-$2500 (assuming it is a standard grade and not Pigeon, Diana, etc). The big question is whether the gun has 'salt wood.' Browning used a salt process to dry stock blanks during this time period and sometimes the salt would not be removed completely, causing the guns to corrode badly underneath the woodline. If you have a 'salt gun', value is going to be reduced by at least half. If the gun is going to be marketed, we'd be interested. sales@countrygunsmith.net
