Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 A lot of times I see guns from around the 1900s give or take that have flaking plating on them (chrome, nickel, ??) first, what is it usually? can it easily be removed completely? Saw one on wire today and it looked interesting except for all the chipping in the plating Quote
Pat Riot Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Usually it's Nickel. I do not know about removal. Quote

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 I had some very loose nickel bead blasted off a cylinder last year. It came off pretty good. Quote
