Remington 7400 STAINLESS?

I keep an eye out for Remington 7400:s and 750:s, mostly because of yet another want instead of need, and stumbled across something I've never seen before.

A 7400, .308, advertised as stainless steel, by a shop that also carries two other second hand 7400:s in their inventory. Priced at €390 with a seriously crappy Tasco scope. No pictures. The shop is fairly reputable, has been in business for a long time and moves lots of used guns all the time.

I'll probably give them a call next monday but I'd like to be armed with some background information. Does one exist as a factory model or are they selling a gun Bubba had nickel plated at some point?

If it's real and this far out of the ordinary, I think I want it just for the sake of it being different.

Factory nickle plated. Called the Weather Master. I remember seeing one and I thought it was a wierd version of the 870 marine till I got a good look at it.
I had to go look it up to get the name tho....rare as far as I know, haven't seen or heard of another, and they should have been popular here.

Thanks! That's exactly the information I needed. Not stainless then, but factory nickel plating is the next best thing. I'll definitely use the "it's not really stainless even though you advertise it as such" as a bargaining tool, regardless of it being a really dumb argument in this case.

Sometimes you just have to try. I want it now, for the best price I can get.
