I'm betting it's stainless. It looks like the tang is plated to match. Stock refinished?
I like it!
Looks like somebody nickel plated it, and some of it looks like flash chrome

Thanks,
The stock was like this when I purchased it. I'm not sure if it's original or not.

I plan to list this in the classified section in the coming days if you are interested.
Did I miss something, I thought this was the Flintlock section...

I've a CVA Frontier with a brown barrel and the buck horn rear sight. The red color of the stock is probably the way it came from the factory. I have seen that color on a factory built CVA Hawken cap lock. Nice rifle

Appears to be stainless. Really doubt nickel silver would make a good barrel of any kind.

"Stainless" barrels are used on some modern breechloaders.
I would not ever use 416 stainless for a gun barrel. Some do because it machines nicely. That 416 barrel may not perform so nicely if something goes wrong. Seem to recall some famous European hunting rifle manufacturer discontinuing stainless rifles because thy can get somewhat brittle in cold weather. Makes sense to me as metallurgist.

It's probably a nickel plating. A friend of mine did that to his TC Hawken many years ago. He liked the look. I thought it was ok for him but not something I would do.
I like the red stock finish.

I bought this from broome1000 last week, just stumbled onto my own gun on here!
