Bill MeyerNickel plating
I've been working on a Ballard rifle (for all those of you that "just have to know", I rebarrelled it with a XX Douglas barrel 32" long, part octagon, the rest round.) This action has one of those fancy schuetzen type finger levers that was origonally nickel plated. It was kind of bad shape so I stripped the old nickel off and welded up some of the worse pits. Now I'm looking for someone that does plating to make it pretty again. Do any of you guys nickel plate? Bill
