Nice!!!
I have an old Schultz and Larsen 358 Norma Mag someone else put hard chrome on and then put it a MPI synthetic stock... good looking and tough to boot!
Hope you don't mind if I tag this too!

Yondering, that’s the factory magazine on a .450 Bushmaster, as is the brake.
Edited to add: Now the Weatherby style cheek piece and color.. I did myself. Oh, and I added a Glade Armory longer bolt handle for more leverage.

Very nice looking rifle, they did a nice job on it.
Do you guys think Hard Chrome is way more durable and rust resistant than Cerokote or some of the other coatings?

Did they do the entire trigger group as well?

Ceracoat is a bad joke. Hard chrome is the real deal. When this one was my everyday carry gun I hung it on the inside door panel of my Dodge truck and drug my muddy boots across it on the way out the door. Mud, and gravel, every day. Wipes off and looks new.

How does it compare for slickness to NP3? I used NP3 on some custom molds for my last company. Came back slick and produced packaging that looked shiny it was so smooth. I always thought a bolt/raceway would be a good place for sacrificial coating like NP3. The Hard Chrome I imagine never wears but in extreme ( i.e., not sporting arms) it might eventually flake because of CTE mismatch.It would seem if a consistent coating of Hard Chrome could be done after an NP3 coating inside action and trigger components it would be ultimate including the bore like SPRs. Then again I have to look at NP3 again because while it doesn't change much dimensionally sacrificial coatings will wear in minute levels. If a trigger design relied on a slight amount of friction that may be bad. I was thinking full NP3 but now this thread has me considering Hard Chrome. I like Material Science though am only lightly versed so interested to see if anyone has both coatings and what they think.
NP3 is nickel impregnated with teflon flakes for anyone not familiar. Instead of teflon flaking off if coated its semi-encapsulated in nickel. As nickel wears it exposes more teflon flakes creating a more slick surface. It's closer in CTE to other metals and soft enough to expand when heated. It will eventually wear through but not in a sporting arm. It's great for high temp greaseless bearings in dirty environments as it was designed for from what I have read.
