You could always send it out for chrome plating
Thanks Michael, I have taken Ricks advice and done just that. The barrel and lower tube, cap, and end plug, are all sanded down to 1500g and then oiled well to protect during the assembly. I am liking the look of the "brushed" finish and it will be Much easier to maintain. I just got in the last of the parts this week but have not had a chance to complete it. Hoping Saturday I will see a break in the action.. Here is a pic from early on after just "scotch Brite" green pad.
