I have seen short stainless barrels. AFAIK there was never a "sporting" length stainless barrel. As mentioned above, the receiver was always aluminum, sometimes plated (which was the case with the stainless "marine" models). IIRC, the plated marine models held up better than the stainless-barrel version - go figger. You could get a longer barrel plated, or there's probably a DuraCoat product that would closely match.
