Electroless nickel plating. You can actually do it at home. I saw a post on a UK forum where a guy did exactly that on an old beater that he restored. It came out well.

Maybe a satin silver?

Quick question. What does the color actually look like in person?

Various pics on the net show from gunmetal grey to silver to a yellowish silver

Grey with little bit yellow silver. Again, this rifle does not need to be wiped with oil after shooting, after sweaty hands, the coating is very practical, pleasant and warm to the touch. I have a lot of chrome-plated firearms and I will say real galvanic nickel plating is worse than this new chemical coating, in all respects.
