Handi Rifles aren't normally case colored.  It's likely blued.  Does it have the small dia. firing pin?

You might also check to see that the last 3 digits of the receiver s/n is engraved into the hinge area of the barrel.  This will ensure the barrel came from the factory with that receiver.

The case color receivers you have seen in the past are probably shotgun SB1s or the older pre 1986 receivers.  The exception to this would be the SB2 Buffalo Classic receivers that are case colored.
