Personally, I am not a anti-chrome / anti-nickle guy, it is part of the guns history. It caught your eye as a pretty gun, why de-chrome it and change that?
The money spent de-chroming, rebluing and putting in a new barrel, you might as well buy a 2nd shooter luger. Just buy one more for what you are looking for?
Sometimes that rough bores shoot pretty good BTW
