| What process do they use to remove nickel or chrome from a gun prior to engraving. |

| There are some methods for removing chrome or nickel bu tthey can be complicated and/or expensive. I would suggest having a well respected plater remove it. They use a reverse process to do it just like the plating. While removing blue can be done easily at home I just suggest having the plating done by a pro. |

| I agree with Rex. I have stripped electroless nickel at home and it took some 13 hours and a lot of work. I have never tried electroplated pieces and would not! It really is best to start with a blued gun in my opinion, a lot less time and expense...but that doesn't really help your situation. You might post on the igraver.com or engravingforum.com sites for more info and names of sources. |

| Check the Brownells website, they have two solutions for removing nickel plating that amateurs can use. |
