One of the Browning’s most well-known shotguns is the Browning Saltwood. The Browning Saltwood, so named due to its unique salt-impregnated wood stocks, are a line of firearms that were produced in the mid-to-late 20th century. The inclusion of salt as a desiccant in the stocks was intended to prevent warping and moisture damage, offering a longer lifespan for the firearm. However, the salt also proved to be a formidable foe, often causing significant rust and corrosion to the metal components of the shotgun.
