Rodger at DARK does Hard Chrome hanguns and long guns. The price listed for pistols is $250, with a note to call on the price for long guns. (I'd imagine it wouln't come cheap).
Would hard chrome plating a norinco bolt help reduce generous headspacing?
Electroless plating is done using a chemical reaction. Once there's a thin flash of the metal the reaction stops. This means it's VERY thin. For nickel'ing a firearm you want to do the electroplate so the thickness will be up to snuff.
I used to do electroless tin and gold plating on circuit boards for a living. It's incredably thin deposits when done this way.

some of my experiments
slide,frame,comp,tail
slide,comp
Barrel
the prep work must be flawless cause the chrome deposit carbon copy's any imperfections, everything is done by hand and time
By trade i do hard chrome on hydro rods and bearing surface. Gun slides get tricky.
deposit of material...one thousands of an inch
