Here's a few, although I personally haven't used them as I haven't had a gun refinished. I'm sure there's more.

I've seen a lot of talk about Alamo & chrome, don't know if the do any Electroless Ni or how to get hold of them.

Kevinch,
Alamo Custom Gun Refinishing is located in Ocala ,Florida. The owner is Terry Wolford. The do exceptional Bluing, Hard chrome and Nickel( and maybe some Tefloning or black coats?). AS far as I know he only accepts work from FFL's but you might call him and find out at 1-352-401-9001.
Sincerely-Barry
