Man, if I'm using acid and giving $50 to a stripper either I'm clinically insane or having a great time.

Sorry---had to do it. I do not personally know the answer but I guarantee within 24 hours someone will.

Soak it well in Hoppes #9 it may take some time for it to remove the plating but it will take off the nickle and the underlaying copper. That is why I have always been told to remove all Hoppes solvent after cleaning nickle plated guns. I can't swear to this as I never leave it on any gun after cleaning, it gets wiped dry and oiled.

The Hoppes Solution worked well when Hoppes had more of an Ammonia Content. Were I to try the Hoppes, I would use their Hoppes Benchrest solution. Straight Yellow Household Ammonia might also work.

You could also try Reverse ElectroPlating the Nickle off to an Anode, which will require a solution of Sulphuric Acid. There are a number of Gun Refinishing outfits that do this kind of work and you might want to have one of them do this for you.
