I am re-conditioning an Ithaca Knickerbocker (Ca: 1926) that I will be keeping for my personal trap shooting use. In addition to refinishing the wood, re-cutting the checkering, installation of an Ithaca Sunburst pad and having the action "tuned" I was going to have the trigger re-plated in gold, as it was originally. I have not been able to find a place that will do this small job for less than a minimum fee of $250 to $350.
Now, I do not expect this to be done free but I also don't want to spend that kind of money to do such a small, trivial part. (would have the receiver re-case colored instead). Could anyone give me an idea of where I can have this small job done more reasonably or possibly suggest an alternative to Gold Plating.
Thanks in Advance.
Steve
