"........Stainless is OK in other cartridges, but in a Swift it would be like a 16 gauge side-by-side with a single trigger.

Just not done."

My memory must be failing me, but I seem to remember owning a factory Winchester model 70 with a stainless barrel that was coated with iron and blued so as to appear "traditional". This was the second model Winchester put out after many customers shot out their chrome/moly barrels trying to attain that mythical 4110fps with the 48 grainers.
