Jackson Haller Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Howdy! It won't be shiny, but it will be resistant to corrosion: http://www.armoloyftworth.com/Armoloy_WebDevelopment/Web_Pages/Firearms_Applications.htm They did the barrels on a double barrel SxS for me.

Goatneck Clem Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Armoloy process works well on firearms. It was used on shotguns and handguns for fisherman in the Texas Gulf of Mexico and they did not rust. They coated several of my competition pistols for their advertisement. I shot many a thousand rounds thru those guns with great sucess. No flaking or chiping of the coating. It will add about a thousandth thickness to your gun.

Manatee Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I think Wyatt is correct. They used to be Accurate Plating (long time ago?). Did Colt's nickel work....at least I think they did..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Wyatt and Manatee are CORRECT. That is THE place to have firearms plated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daybreaker Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Call Accurate Plateting and Weaponry talk to Mr. Coogan. They are in Newville, Alabama, just north of Dothan. They Hardchromed my Open Tops a lot of parts on my Marlin and they also did my pards Winchester 97. Beautiful work. They also do a lot of the Custom guns coming from different manufactures. Of course you can go to their website ape.com or just Google them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sam, SASS #10915 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Another vote for Bob Coogan. I had a pair of pistols hard chromed with a brush finish and they turned out great. They were pretty well worn out when I took them in. They came back looking and feeling like new! He also does other custom work, like converting three screw Ruger Blackhawks to Vaquero style pistols.

Yank_MaChain Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Daybreaker, Look great!!! Really nice grips!! What finish is that on the hard chrome? Yank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daybreaker Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I think they call it brushed. It is buffed with 400 grit. They will explain it better than I can. They also have a high polish if you like that. Usually anything round is 400 polished or brighter and any thing flat they leave a matte finish to keep glare down. They do about everything including the camo finishes on AT 15's and other rifles. That finish is an adhesive. Later, Daybreaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daybreaker Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Here are some photo's of my son Yancey James' Vaquero's. They were originally blue and colorcased. The only thing that was left alone was the frame. Everything else was hardchromed. Look at the front of the cylinders. Hardchrome makes getting those ugly burm rings off easy, very easy. Yancey removed the Ruger Bible as these are an old pair of Vaquero's and the Bible was on the upper side. His alias was engraved then they were Hardchromed. http://s961.photobucket.com/albums/ae96/Daybreaker1200/Yancey%20James%20Pistols/ The next set of pictures are of my Marlin that I shoot Black Powder in. I only did a few things in Hardchrome on it. Mainly the parts that might rust. The magazine tube is a big PLUS!!!! http://s961.photobucket.com/albums/ae96/Daybreaker1200/Daybreakers%20Marlin/ All Hardchroming was done by Accurate Plating and Weaponry http://www.apwcogan.com/ Enjoy, Daybreaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Argyle Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I've had so many of my cowboy (and non-cowboy) guns plated by APW, I should be on their Christmas card list! In fact, I have two pistols there now! You WILL NOT find a better company when it comes to chroming firearms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
