Yea,
About to buy a M9 military from TM, gold plating the slide might be a toughie.
Taking it to an engraver might do the trick as they plate lighters and pens and sorts. Had my black zippo plated with a gold playboy emblem. Just a thought.

Wouldnt a FMU gun be better for plating? Just a thought.

Plz do. I really want to make that Rapier and keep it as a show piece.

A Full metal probably would be best. I'm going to give the Key Man Engravables a call and see what they can do. The compensator is gonna be hard to get on though. made man a good model im checking into making right now to make that rapier or anything close to it would probably be a HFC M190 Special Force with Compensator. I assume that the compensator is metal as well so it could also be plated. KJ Works M9 would work as well. As long as you dont mind having it without a compensator. This is probably gonna cost me around 500 with the gun... :|

Dont forget the custom grips.
And... rapier was my idea... nooooo!!!! Make something else, lol.
Closest things is that HFC... buuut, it's a HFC. It MIGHT be possible to mod WA's compensators for 92f.

Yea,
Im trying to make that revolver in Payback. I think its just a basic M19 Combat Magnum with custom chestnut grips. The grips for Tanaka revolver are hella hard to find. Anybody got a retailer that gets in grips for Tanaka Revovers?. Or would real steel grips work?.

-Hax

You can always get your local woodshop guy to make a pair for ya.

I'll look into that actually.
Another option aside from Plating might be to dye the slide.
Its not the best option, but it will still look half decent. Not as realistic looking as a plated one.
