Is the gun still available?
I’ve had 2 knowledgeable Browning o/u gunsmiths closely inspect this gun and it is NOT a Salt wood stock.
Sold. To a perfectly normal hunter with lots of sense. One word to you trolls that submit unwanted BS advice on something you have no intention of purchasing: get a (**() hobby.
My hobby is exposing rip-offs.Why did you advertise as 1960s instead of telling everyone the exact year model.First red flag,haha. I bet you didn’t even sell it .
Well you fledgling idjit, I got 2000 for it. No thanks to your asinine peeps from the peanut gallery

I’m not sure who you’re directing that towards? But, my post from the Blue Book was an honest answer to captbass28’s question about whether the gun had salted wood. The serial # you posted, clearly indicates that the gun came from the factory with salted wood. Whether it was changed by Browning later, who knows? And, I find hard to believe you have an honest gunsmith that would even suggest it didn’t come with salted wood?
Do you mind sharing the names of the gunsmiths that advised you on this?
Also, why spend a grand “rust bluing” a gun that, from your, and your “gunsmiths”, perspective, had no apparent issues? If, what you, and your “gunsmiths”, claim about the gun is true, you definitely transformed it from a, one of a kind, Collectable, to a Shooter!!
I don’t think that BS smell lingering around here is coming from the peanut gallery…
Whatever the case, it was pointed out to me, and I never claimed to be an expert on Brownings. A smith in Greenville NC indicated that the barrel was stamped Montreal, which began producing in 1971. So although your salt wood theory is a solid one, not every one made between 1967 and 71 were salt wood stocks. evidently, mine was not. Regardless, not one of you “experts” ever touched the shotgun and therefore you were speculating negatively on an item I was selling. If you don’t want it, keep your opinion to yourself. There is a very happy owner of than gun now. and no thanks to the quips from the gallery bud.
Okay…So the gun you advertised as “1960’s 20 ga over under Lightning Browning $2000” was actually produced in 1971, according to you, and your gunsmith? But you posted a serial # that indicates otherwise. It doesn’t take an “expert” to recognize your discrepancies. Bud.
I’ll keep my smith’s name to myself. He doesn’t need to advertise, because he spends a lot of time correcting the “work” of some of our local shops smiths. He is a no nonsense guy and honest, thorough, and dependable. go ahead and look up the lead time for a rust blue job at Turnbull Restoration. That’s where he learned the technique. You should read up on it and maybe you’ll learn something useful
If you were on the level,you wouldn’t be so mad.
The gun is in the hands of a satisfied buyer, thank you.

Did you sell it as a '67 or a '71 vintage?
Sure feels like some people are getting salty about this.
Sorry, couldn’t resist the cheesy pun.

Both, by the way, have “salt wood”.

You two are a pair of morons. Ever think that not all of those stocks were treated? Show evidence of every one in that era bring salt. Either way, mine was not. And the buyer was more concerned with how it looked and felt as anything than about what you non buying experts were yapping about. There is no pitting where any wood contacts metal an either the stock or forend. Anyway it’s sold to someone that will use it like the tool that it is. I’m thinking about deleting the posting , but it’s pretty (**() humorous.
