What have y’all done to deal with this? I took care of it with an Olympian rifle, and any collector value was lost.

I have a Midas .410 and guess I should just shoot it and laugh at my misses unless there are better ideas.

The problem is with the wood. If not too bad the metalcan be redone, the engraving recut. Can't save the wood. Restock it, sorry

The level of salt infiltration varies some bit with Brownings. Some of them are "a bit" salty and others are really salty. Those which are "lightly salted" (so to speak) can be sealed on the interior to largely stop the corrosive action of the salt-impregnated wood. The "really salty" ones usually corrode the metal so badly by the time the problem was discovered that the firearm is almost a total loss.
