Chrome removal

[Bretwalda]

I have a very well built percussion lock by "Ollie" that I have had for over 30 years and I am finally getting around to doing a build with it. It is however heavily chrome plated :cursing: and I really do not want to use it that way...is there an easy way to correct this condition? :idunno:

I think a chrome shop should be able to remove the chrome. A quick phone call should tell you!

Acid soaking will do it. But it will leave you with a "finely pitted" lock.I used to work in a factory that did a lot of chrome plateing and often they would strip off the chrome and rechrome the parts. But they had to be buffed before replating. :hmm: :hmm:

This works on nickel so maybe it will work with chrome.
