Notwithstanding potential hydrogen embrittlement of plated steel, nickel acts as a sacrificial element in absorbing surface wear, allowing for a less strenuous and more authentic restoration. Of course, these advantages do not apply to a buffed gun. As to the absurd nomenclature, your guess is as good as mine. __________________ Michael Zeleny@post.harvard.edu -- http://larvatus.livejournal.com/ -- 7576 Willow Glen Road, Los Angeles, CA 90046 -- 323.363.1860 All of old.
