Years ago when I had my shop a couple brought a nickel K frame .38 to transfer ownership. Back then we had a 3 day wait. While we had it I looked down the bore and it honestly looked like the bore was plated and the plating was peeling everywhere. As a courtesy I took the Lewis Lead Remover to it. The gobs of lead that came out of it were unbelievable.
