Question about finish on Winchester rifles
I ended up with a pair of unfired Winchester Centennial rifles (rifle and carbine). The metal is brass colored. My question: is this a brass plating over steel or is the receiver actually made of brass?
From what I understand, the value is pretty low on commeratives so I may make "shooters" out of them.
Thanks for your help,

The quick way to an answer is to put a magnet on the frame. 0 -
Most definitely plated. I have a NIB Annie Oakley with a similar treatment along with engraving. 0 -
Yo Lance, what is an "annie" like that worth?
