Removing Chrome Plating

Alx · 05-06-2012, 12:35 AM

Sorry no pictures because I bought the chromed Luger cheap at a gunshow, took it to the platers to be stripped on the Monday, then the next gunshow weekend, I sold it for about five hundred more than I paid, first dealer that saw it wanted it, and I underpriced it at that. 'Just lucky that it had been plated without any prior buffing, and was so square, straight and level. Most plated Lugers have already had their surfaces messed with. But if I ever do get another deal on a plated Luger, that is the first thing I'd do, have it stripped to the metal with no abrasives.
