Check this ad from a store a flat band with a plated/stainless receiver, I've never heard of this before.

It is almost certainly a plated or highly polished bare metal receiver. A hands on inspection would reveal the truth in seconds. Winchester did experiment with stainless steel barrels, not with stainless steel actions.
