It's either plated or paint. Is the barrel stamped SSK by any chance?
Barrel has no markings on it at all. It's 14 inches and about 1 inch diameter. Has a nice blond rear grip stock. Shop owner thinks it chambered in 204 Ruger. He got 7 XPs in an estate sale. This one is the only custom one all the others have the brown plastic stocks.
