    Default Nickel plating

    Does anyone know of a good place to have something nickel plated? I'm looking to have a beat up Turk Mauser action nickel plated and don't know of any firearm metal finish places around PA.

    Minor word of warning... be prepared to do some fit/finish work on your parts when they come back if you aren't having a gunshop do the plating. The 1911 my dad bought off a guy who sent it out for plating didn't go back together as intended. It required some light smithing.
    It has to start someplace... It has to start sometime...
