How about hard chrome plating hehhehe
NRA did one up for an anniversary edition. Not my thing BUT it was one damn fine looking rifle
Mind you, you gotta like the look of Bling to go down that road.
I aggree with Sean, powder coating may not be the best choice for the reasons he mentions and becuase it builds up to much and may interfere with moving parts

I have the tank, custom made in stainless. I need to fill her with solution and start perfecting my parkerizing skills on the pile of norc parts I've got laying around. Some time this year I hope to start parkerizing.
Not sure who does it in BC. I do know one local smith who does it but if you guys think I'm slow..... He took a year to parkerize ONE garand rear sight so I will not recommend him.
I'll ask around locally

There is armacoat I think it's called, similar to dura coat I believe. Company is in alberta and they do Fantastic, durable coloured coatings on firearms.
When I have time I may look at having one of my own rigs sent to them for coating.

You could always have it salt bath nitrided.
Seriously ? Powder is applied in the micron, like 1-1.5 which is 0.00003937 - 0.000059055 of an inch and that is to much of a build up ?
I agree it would interfere with moving parts thou in which case the action and tight tolerance areas would have to be taped off.
