Years ago I used mystic plating in Malden. Not sure if they're still around.

My shop just installed an electroless nickel and gold plating line, I know we can do any aluminum but I don't know pricing and such, if there's any real interest I can see if the owner would be interested.

There is real interest, my ak is made from steel. Let me know if you could do it and how much. My budget is around 400$ for the plating.

Never name you budget. Let the at least give you a quote first! Damn!

I ran around looking for a local plater at one time. Problem was that they need an FFL to do the work, or they said they did which can be an issue. Have you done a search for firearms platers ?

I honestly have no idea about this, i wasn't planning on having to deal with any restrictions.

Westfield Electroplating does ALOT of firearms plating, and when I say alot, I mean racks upon racks upon racks of firearms. So many I couldn't take it all in.

have any idea on prices? on nickel or chrome

 

[edhead35]

I couldn't even muster a guess. Our pricing was a structure for high volumes.

Must post pics when done with this.

I was thinking of doing an AK build some day and chrome plating it. That shit would be soooo gangsta.

Appears that they are no longer around, and the old site may actually be some sort of hazmat site now....

OP: If you find one, please let the rest of the class know.

Plating is going the way of Blacksmithing.

The EPA and others have regulated them out of business

Most plating shops I was dealing with were older operations that had their tanks held together with duct tape and lock wire

the old facilities were grandfathered, the new facilities are cost prohibitive due to the regulations related to the heavy metals in the process and treating the waste water.
