    Default Anyone ever used a home electroless nickel kit?

    I was thinking about getting an electroless nickel kit from caswellplating.com.

    I have a mossberg 590 I would like to do and then some bolt carriers and small parts.

    Anyone got any experiences?

    No but let me know how it turns out, I would like to nickle coat a lot of small parts.

    I've used one and found it effective on small parts. I was hoping it would work on the frame & slide of a 1911. This was back in the 80's and maybe they've improved by now.

    I may buy one of the small kits and try it on some small parts before taking on the shotgun.
