I don't know what it is, but it is durable. I've mostly used mine for duck hunting since 1993 and only seen a little rust from condensation under the rib. And that was my fault for taking it into a warm shack on a 15 degree day. Otherwise, it has endured the bottom of the boat, ice-breaking wades through waist deep salt water, sleet, rain, snow, cedar brush on the blind and a dog(don't ask). The hardwood stock finish is painted on, durable, ugly and can be removed with either lacquer thinner or acetone(I can't remember which). The best thing I did was replace the original recoil pad - the spacer extends up into the pad and is just a hard plastic box taking up space. Sanded a Pachmayr to fit and now don't mind shooting those 2 oz. magnum turkey loads at the range just for the heck of it. John
