El lobo,

Looking back at that post I was pretty unclear ... sorry, Ill try again.

Im asking for recommendations on people to do it.... sorry I didnt make that clear...

I know it can be done.....1911s are HCed all the time, several custom rifle makers offer it.
I think you are confusing your chromes.... Hard chrome is not shiny it looks more like satin stainless in fact its probably close enough to electroless nickel that you would have to know which it was. I havent ever seen two side by side though.

I kinda think Hard chrome would do a "little" to take up some play in the bolt in addition to more closely matching my stainless barrel.. but ElectNick wouldnt be a bad idea.
