I bought a project gun for my youngest son. It's a 1901 make 1892 Winchester SRC in 25 WCF. It's niclkled from the factory, but in poor shape. I have redone the wood, the action and magazine all work flawlessly and it's actually a pretty good shooter now! But it has rust and the nickel is flaking badly. My question is: how bad is it to strip the old nickle off and have it redone? By whom?? And would I be better off having it case hardened? I'm not interested in original condition, it was $95 and very rough when I got it (come to think of it, $95 might have been high for the work I've got into it!!)
Thank you in advance!!!!
