I don't think so Dick. Muraitic will eat rust. Not plating.
-correct me if I'm wrong Bobby....
you'll have to have the thing 'reverse plated' to get it off
BTW: I don't think ANY guns were ever 'chrome' plated... just
nickled
( copper plated first then nickled )
BTW II: GOOD bluing is boiled. Not applied out of a bottle.... ;-)
-you could however, try 'browning' it ... it would look 'old' and
patina'ed' ;- )
yer ol' pal, -Doug -who usta onct uponatime was a gun -MAKER

bject: Re: [Land-speed] Plating
Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2007 19:38:05 -0700 (PDT)
What I'm looking for, specifically, is: Will muriatic acid, as available
from a hardware store, strip nickel and chrome plating from steel. I want
to try bluing an old pistol that has a very bad chrome job. It's of no real
value, it's just something I've always wanted to try, but I've got to get
the nickel and chrome (and rust) off this thing before I can try bluing it.
