The Pioneer team would like to thank everyone who visited our booth at the Supplier Showcase this year! One of the most frequent questions was regarding Pioneer’s chrome-lined barrel capabilities. With over 30 years of experience plating ID barrels for manufacturers across the United States, Pioneer is well-equipped to meet the industry’s needs.
“I was most surprised by the level of interest in chrome-lined barrels and bolt carrier group components at this year’s Supplier Showcase,” commented Paul Lund, Vice President of Commercial Operations at Pioneer Metal Finishing. “Our team in Chippewa Falls, WI has been quietly executed tight-tolerance plating for the firearms industry for more than 30 years, and we have continued to invest in this technology. Clearly, it is time to let the industry know that Pioneer can support their tight-tolerance chrome plating needs.”
Pioneer’s capabilities include dedicated tooling designs for both extension-on and extension-off components, tight tolerance finishing (+/-0.0001”), thin “flash” plating (0.0002-0.0004”), and post-chrome plating black manganese phosphate. With a 120,000 square foot, FFL accredited facility, Pioneer has the capacity to plate thousands of barrels and BCG components weekly, with chrome plating lead times of less than 3 days.
We understand that changing supply vendors can be challenging, especially in an industry where trust is paramount. Rest assured, we are ready to provide unsurpassed expertise, consistent quality, and turn times that meet your schedule. Get started today by contacting Wade Bergland, sales leader for our chrome services offerings.
