    Save yourself some trouble and try to trade it off first. Chrome is a plating. You more or less have to peal it off unless you're gonna deal with a shop that has the right chemicals. I personally have not found anything over the counter that is good with the stuff.

    The ULE bodies didn't come in chrome. They did come in nickle which is a similar process to chrome but not as hard and tends to tarnish easier. The ULE nickle bodies are nice.
    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
