YES, they plate everything but the springs. Even the bore gets chromed. Back in the 80s I had a S&W 29 hard chromed. That was when 629s were rare. People at ranges thought it was stainless and offered to buy it. It's a great finish. I'm thinking of having one of my stainless Ruger Security-Sixes nickel plated. Not for protection, but for looks.

Thank you for the update. I found a slightly rough blued Blackhawk and I think the hard chrome will be an excellent choice. I'll get the action work done first.
