That is the finish that Winchester used on their stainless barrels. I have 2 Swifts, one a target model and the other with original stainless barrels. I also have 2 .300HH with original stainless barrels, a .264 and a .270.
Nice looking rifle by the way.
You have a 270 with a stainless barrel?
While we are talking about SS barrels, My Gunsmith in Tallahassee FL, Mark Raines, owner of Masters of Gun & Rod has a Mod 12 Winchester SS Barrel, I saw it with my own eyes last week! The one thing I have learned about Winchester is, if you had the money there is dog dam near anything you could have if you wanted it from them! WINCHESTER was very accommodating if you could get to the BIG sales rep with the correct change!
