Hello to all! These plated guns that show up from time to time are a sad, sad, deal.. If you can get by the outragous stories, and take the gun and the nickel job on it's own merit, you'd see that it is not just a case of nickel plating ... but an extremely poor case of nickel plating!!... As most of them are overbuffed, and poorly preped for any type of finish much less unforgiving bright nickel... if they would square up the edges, use the correct grit, and run their prep correctly, and toned down the plating, there would be some striking results... It's not the guns, or the plating...it's the idiot behind the wheel!

Best to all, til....lat'r...GT

BTW, The pope just kicked off the most recent crusade... had to happen sometime..
