Rebuilding my great grandfather's Marlin 97 from the receiver up(inherited the receiver and 80% of the internals) and think I want to go with a chrome receiver and blued barrel/magazine. Anyone know of a place that can do the receiver, lever, bolt and hammer? The barrel came in today so I've finally gotten the build started and am kicking ideas around.

Chem Processing near Chicago.

EPA is shutting most of them down.

Try some of the vendors in this link. Good luck.

Might have a place found-anyone ever dealt with Craftguard in Waterloo? According to their price list they do chrome, electroless nickel and hot blue. Only an hour away from me, so getting it to them isn't a big issue(I hate shipping guns, even when I know I'm legal).
