    How does the bayonet and musket look now with the plating removed?

    When they came back, they were a little duller than I expected they would be. I polished both the barrel and the bayonet until I thought they looked right.

    Several years ago I saw a chrome or nickel plated Gallager for sale. The seller told me that it had belonged to a GAR post and was used for parades.

    If I were lucky enough to have a musket and bayonet that was highly likely to have been Nickel plated by a veteran marching in GAR parades, etc. I most assredly would have left it that way! The GAR was well known for Nickel plating their muskets and swords. The reason was that as they aged they were less inclined to expend the labor in keeping them polished bright.

    Wonder how one that was coated in the newer high tech coatings would do?

    Like a Np3 or other nickel boron....
    could make for an easy to clean slick bore.

    lostinwestchester -

    Did you read my post on page 1, wherein it states "...we strongly discourage things like the assortment of Woodland Camouflages, Hot Pink, Day-Glo Green, etc."?

    There have been allowances made over the years for a very few individuals who hadn't yet cleaned the camo off their carbines which they had used for hunting between skirmish seasons.I would recommend that you do not attempt to abuse the generosity of the N-SSA, for it will take but a stroke of the pen to close that door permanently for all parties.
