Yes, stripping the nickel plating should be no problem and should cause no damage whatever to the steel. It's a reverse electrolytic process that is used by any chroming shop to remove the old plating. The gun parts could then be lightly wire-brushed and either rust blued, cold blued or hot blued. In fact, it could also be plated with black nickel. I'd say most any serious gun hobbyist could do this at home except for the plating & removal, and you can locate a chrome shop in any locality by asking around at the motorcycle shop.
