Re: Pitted chambers - a possible solution ?

wondered if a nickasil plating would work.
Hard as hell and can only be polished with diamond I think.
It's used for replating two stroke cylinders mostly as far as I know.
I know that plating has been used to remedy wear at the hook and at the bites. I haven't heard of it being used in chambers, but it's possible. Masking of everything but the pits would allow selective application, as is done at hooks and bites - but it's so much harder than the parent material.
The nail polish remedy is an interesting solution.
Definitely beats re-barreling the gun.
