August West, SASS #45079 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Are the chambers on SKB shotguns chrome plated? Or, is the plating only done on the bores back to the forcing cone? Thanks. A.W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 And a number of "race ready" tricks will eliminate most all of chrome. I doubt that any of my Ithaca/SKBS have any chrome left. I do like Briley's work even though a little special care is needed to barrels because they are no longer with chrome.

Dirt Merchant # 61422 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 The chrome plating runs the length of the barrels . No black chrome on any SKB made in the Ithaca era, barrels are blued. The forcing cones can have the chrome removed by a carbide cone drill bit. Expensive tool and not really necessary. Shotgunner who taught me used to remove the chrome and after time I quit doing it without any noticeable difference in she'll removal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 According to the owner's manual (a copy is in my hands) the bores and chambers and all working surfaces and the triggers are chrome plated. The external finish on all metal is blued except for the "coin silver" surfaces on some deluxe parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirt Merchant # 61422 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Well then the black chrome wears exactly like bluing and the 20 plus barrels I have had reblued looks like original, blued not black chrome. Much later guns 1985 forward may have had black chrome,Sorry to disagree but much experience in this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
