I have a Beretta cataloge and it refers to "French Grey (or Gray)" on either its Sako or Tikka rifles.  Apparently it is a silver finish.

Interesting question.  The following thread discusses some aspects of French Gray.

http://talk.shooters.com/room_14/3427.cfm

There is another possibility if you are interested.  Talk to John Gillette at Classic Guns, inc  708-946-6141.  They were doing a French Gray case hardening process.  One thing for sure, they did great work on my custom 44 1/2 Stevens.  A picture link is of the color casework is on the single shot board.  Hope this helps.

I have a contender barrel from EABCO with the French Gray finish.  It is very similar to a stainless finish.   It is also real similar to the Gun-Kote Stainless finish.

Hope this helps.
