Who does the best combination of high quality and low price in chroming blued firearms? I'm hoping for a matte stainless look and I'm thinking about a couple Contender frames as likely candidates.

Thanks!

I don't think high quality and lowest price go together very well

Yeah, I know - it's the old story. "High quality, low price, fast delivery - Pick any 2"

But there's probably a happy medium in here somewhere, which is what I'm looking for. Maybe not the lowest price, but best bang for the buck. Maybe I should have said it like that.

I have used CHECKMATE and Robar, not cheap but the product is first rate. The below Sig was done by CHECKMATE, it is a satin chrome finish

Checkmate in Florida is the best hard chromer we've ever found! They do a wonderful job and can do mixed matt and high polish. I have never seen a case of washed out lettering or fouled up edges from them.

We have race guns done with high polish sides and matt edges and high plish sides. The they do gorgeous work.

I wouldn't trust work to anyone else regardless of the price.

Checkmate is coming to the fore here....

Anybody got a website? I'm going to DAGS now...

Ahhh....thank you. My search so far had yielded only checkmatecustom.com which is definitely not the right site.

Hmmm....perhaps I spoke too soon. I can't find any reference on that site to hard-chroming or other finishing services.

Armoloy also offers a form of hard chroming. I have had several rifles done in it 20 years ago. It has held up very nicely

Google "Checkmate refinishing"

Several articles and an address.

Thanks, Mike. I DID Google that and the site that keeps coming up is http://www.checkmatecustom.com

Surely that's not right?
