nercwys 10 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hi all just a quick question. Can i have my barrels ,Electroplated? cheers for any replys. Quote Link to post
matt_hooks 188 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 What exactly do you mean by electro-plating? You can "electro plate" with all sorts of materials. I can't see why you would want to electro plate though, it really doesn't do anything a good care regime and a wipe over with an oily rag after use doesn't. Quote Link to post
danebrewer10 6 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 electroplating with what and why? you'll also have to consider that if you do coat the barrels with a layer of extra metal, is that the gun may not work or even fit together as being a firearm, it is made to tight tolerances, so I doubt it would work with the extra material.

danebrewer10 6 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 well ypu could, it just a physical process, but it wouldn't be a good idea if you want protection, then something like duracoat might be appropriate... Quote Link to post
