Title: Chrome plating 835 bbl
Post by: chadabear on April 19, 2012, 11:03:21 PM
I have access to an older 835 24" bbl, I was thinking of trying to get the inside chrome plated. Anyone ever done this or thought about it? Pro's and Con's.....I have a buddy with a Benelli that has a chrome bbl, it shoots like a rifle, and it is much easier to clean and take care of. This is just a thought, any opinions welcome.

I had it done to one of my 835s back before pollishing got big.  It worked great, wasn't too expenssive and really helped with cleaning and patterning.  Thung is...my mirror pollished 835s shoot just as good, clean just as easy and cost me about 1/10 what is cost me to have the first one lined when you factor in the total cost for the stuff needed to do the job...

POLISH IT!  1. Doesn't cost as much    2. Cleans easily after polishing  3. Patterns are Great
