Gold Plating R9 Patrs
R9_fan:
I purchased my second R9, a standard black frame unit in September 2009 with a selected S/N hoping to do a custom display piece but 10 years have gone by and its still in the original box. Time to get the show on the road!!!
I would like to have the standard finish Slide, Trigger & Magazine Release Lever either 22 Ct. Gold Plated or the much more durable Titanium Nitride (Bright Gold Finish) Vapor Deposition.
Can anyone recommend a gun smith or trusty shop that can properly clean and gold finish the three pieces?
The second phase is making a display case for hanging on the Man Cave Wall and I'd like a photo of one of the 16 Premium Elite factory R9 walnut display cases to get a rough idea on the size, depth, how it was mounted, etc.
Any help is well appreciated!
I'm keeping my 1st R9 Stealth (March 2009) for carry.

UPDATE:
I have located a Gunsmith in Sarasota Florida who 1005 disassembled.
I have located an experienced Titanium Nitride (TiN)PVD source to do the necessary "Gold" plating on my 17 pieces.
When the project is completed I will post photos and give an evaluation on the the TiN source for anyone interested.

I look forward to seeing it and the display case.
PhilZ:
Should be very nice. Can't wait to see the pictures. Did they give you a timeframe on how long they think it's going to take?

A friend of mine had this Auto Mag done up.
Let's just say it's not my style.
