I'll have to shoot him a PM after I get my Dragoon in a couple of weeks.
Question on the electroless nickel plating: Does this have protective properties? I'm wondering if plating the barrel and cylinder would make clean up easier and help keep the salts and acids in the BP from damaging the steel. Or is it really just a cosmetic thing?
I'm thinking a Dragoon with the color case hardened frame and loading ram would look really cool with the silver grip frame, cylinder and barrel.
Oh, and I assume any blueing would need to be removed before plating, correct?
