[QUOTE="Packrat 6, post: 1023845, member: 80288"] Well, what you told me allows me to make a decision. I also prefer a "A Pitless Mauser" myself and since I don't have anything except time invested aside from some sandpaper, think that's what I'll do. Am just a hobbiest, and can afford to indulge myself and like I said, create a heirloom. Unless i can take the barrel off with a couple of pipe wrenches (Just kidding) I'm going to have to farm it out, since am not qualified to do any part of it. Anyway thanks for the input, at least now I know what has to be done. Just got to find a place to have it done. My gunsmith can take off the barrel, but having the annealing, welding, regrinding and polishing and re-tempering done is going to require a specialist. My thoughts on the hard chrome were that I prefer to knock off some of the shine and have more of a satin finish, more like Stainless, and at the same time protect the underlying steel from Rust and crud. Washington is a wet, wet state so can't leave it in the "White". Thanks again, Packrat [/QUOTE]
