Depends on the maker. Some gun barrels are the finest quality type 4140 chrome moly or 416 stainless steel with button rifling. Hi-Point pistol frames are made from a high-impact polymer and barrels are from an alloy stainless steel.
In 1912 Harry Brearley was seeking a corrosion resistant alloy for bun barrels. During this process he subsequently discovered a martensitic stainless steel alloy we use today.

DO NOT USE STAINLESS STEEL BRUSHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Use bronze only.
If you have an American Gun Company, New York then the gun is not stainless steel. It was made by Crescent Firearms Co. of Norwich, Conn and distributed by the H&D Folsom Co. They were produced with damascus barrels as well as fluid steel (solid) barrels of various lengths and chokes, with and without external hammers.
If the barrels are stainless steel, it's not very old. I've never heard of any non-metalic hammer extensions. Or a wooden buttplate either. Are there any marks that you do not think are "identifying"? Separate the forearm, barrels and receiver and look for letters, numbers or symbols.
This means that the wine, after it's been made, ages in a barrel. This is usually used with the notion that the barrels are wood. Aging wine in barrels or other vessels (such as stainless steel tanks) gives it additional flavors and is considered an integral part of the wine making process.
It is potentially quite valuable, as the Stainless Steel barrels were only offered for a short period of time in the late 1920s as a special order item only. In order to provide an accurate estimate, a visual inspection & evaluation is required. Bert H.
Harry Brearley was interested in creating stainless steel to solve the problem of erosion and corrosion in gun barrels, which were suffering from wear and failure. In 1913, while experimenting with different metal alloys, he discovered that adding chromium to steel significantly improved its resistance to rust and staining. This groundbreaking development not only enhanced the durability of gun barrels but also led to the widespread use of stainless steel in various applications, revolutionizing industries such as kitchenware, construction, and medical instruments. Brearley's work thus marked a significant advancement in materials science.
IF the barrels are original, there is a 2 or 3 LETTER code on the barrels (left side, half inch from the frame of the gun) The website for the Remington Association has the table to decipher those letters to month and year. The grade will be determined by the finish, engraving and wood. You would need to compare your gun to a known specimen of the different grades.
