WTB Browning Broadway Stock

I have a Browning Broadway that has Salt wood and was never replaced when offered by Browning under warrantee. Metal has been cleaned and reblued once and prefer not doing it again so I need a new syock, what do you have available to make this gun whole again. Don

 

Everyone, this is a salt gun that has been refinished but will always show signs of pitting on edges thus a used tack off stock with normal marks and scratches would be fine. People have offered me beautiful custom "AA" grade stocks but this is a junior shooter new to ATA and poor, thus stocks that are 3 to 4 times what's invested in the gun now is not in the cards. Also, if you know if glass bedding the receiver will eliminate the rusting please advise... Thanks... Don

 

Anyone have a inexpensive used stock laying around, Short Tang...

 

How many stocks do you need?
I see more than one post asking about a stock.

 

I only need one for the gun I have, we have cleaned it, polished it, reblued it and it rusts up in 3 months on the original stock which is why I need a replacement. It's a club gun for Junior shooters and anyone interested in trying to shoot doubles with and does not need expensive wood, just functional. Don

 

I appreciate the offer on a Custom Stock but that costs 3 times what the gun is worth. a standard Field or Trap short tang Belgium Browning stock will work or if you have a solution to solve the Salt wood issue and use the original stock please let me know that too! Thanks Don

 

any condition stock will work as long as it's not a salt wood stock like on gun! Thanks... Don

 

any suggestions would be helpful...

 

I have a new, pre-finished, Browning 12ga stock but I do not know what model it fits.

Can you post some pics of the receiver end your stock?

 

I am unable to edit my previous response.

After comparing some pics on the 'net, the stock I have will not fit a Superposed.

There are several 12ga Superposed stocks listed on e-bay, but they may, or may not, be better than what you have (salt wood).

 

Thanks for the heads up, I'll check them out for sure! Don

 

Does anyone know what can be done to seal the area inside were the receiver fits to keep the salt wood from rusting the metal?

 

If you MUST use the salt-wood stock, maybe coating the inside of the stock with epoxy resin will seal the wood pores.

However, if salt is conveyed as a vapor (think salt air at the ocean) the metal may still be attacked.

Coating the metal with a silicone grease may ward off further attack.

 

Any idea's?? Can it be glass bedded to solve the salt issue? Don
