The USAF Gunsmith Shop at Lackland AFB didn't do them. There were no plating facilities, only bluing. I worked there. Days of match gun work at the GS shop are long gone. Main job when I was there was making up General Officer M9s, rebuilding M16A2s, and upgrades to M249s. Plus a few odd projects of various types.
