It appears to be raw (in the white) steel with the original bluing purposefully removed.

Thank you Bert.  

I am happy I joined WACA.  Lots of resources. 

  

You are welcome.  I wrote an article discussing the Model 65 that was published in the Winter 2016 edition of the Winchester Collector magazine – Winter 2016 (winchestercollector.org)

I am planning to write an updated & revised article sometime later this year (after I finish an updated Model 55 article).

Bert,

The article was a great read. I’ll look forward to a new article, especially with regards to updated production numbers based on your survey results.

Currently I have a total of (785) Model 65 rifles documented in the survey (a 140% gain over what I had back in 2016).  The caliber production numbers are nearly unchanged;

Bert, to make certain I understand your methodology,  do the extrapolated production numbers for each caliber in the chart add up to the known actual total production of the Model 65?

In other words, is 7,736 the actual total Model 65 production rather than a calculated total?

Bill,

I suggest that you read the article in the Winter 2016 Collector magazine… I will most likely answer your question.
