Jeff,
I have just purchased some from CSUSA and Hut and they are good, but if it matters to you look at the different styles of rifle clips that are shown in the SOYP gallery. One looks like a rifle but the other one looks like a carbine rifle or m-16 (to me anyway) the latter looks sharper to me. Just thought that I would mention this as I am looking for the supplier myself.

Sadly, the plating will fail on all of them. Nobody makes one in titanium gold.

If anyone finds them in chrome, I'd like the source. I ordered a chrome plating kit from Caswell to try and replate the gold ones but so far no luck. The chrome does not want to take to the gold even after buffing with red rouge. I'm gonna give it one more try this weekend.

What Stan said. The plating on these things is terrible, that's why I quit using them.

What is underneath the gold plating isn't chrome, most likely it is nickel.

Isn't plating an electical process? Should stick OK.

I have had a few where the gold wore off quicly. Others are holding up fine. My experience with the cross clips is that they wear quite well. I'm presuming the plating is the same. Any dissatisfaction, let CS know, they will replace.

I did what any good agitator is supposed to do. [}
] I e-mailed Eric at CS about this thread. He said the level of demand, for specialty clips, is not high enough to justify making them in Tn. He did state that they are 10K, not 24K as I had thought. 10K plating is not bad, just not as good as Tn.

would clear powder coat work over the gold and give it little more durability?

Guts- I powder coat all of my rifle clips and finials with clear glossy (95%) and of course the casing and bullet. So far it seems to hold up well and is extremely good at resisting scratches.
