Gents, I was hoping to tap into your collective knowledge. I recently purchased a project rifle from the site. It originally had a plated finish, sadly most of which had gone west.. However, having cleaned off the rust, I'm tempted to have it re-plated. I'd like your previous experiences with re-plating, as in what finish you went for (tin plate, nickel, chrome, zinc plate etc) and your findings with regards to function (the rifle once re-assembled) and durability.

Thanks in advance.
