Well in some ways it is a lost cause.  But if all you are up against is a rebarrel then I say go for it.  It's only time and money.  The purist in me though says if you are going rebarrel, make look GI.  No 1903 front sights.  Make either a rifle barrel length gun or a 22 inch carbine gun.  Make it right or hang it on the wall.

I have no opinion about the chrome.  I do not know what it would take to get it off without dinking with the metal underneath it.  Nor do I know how it might look afterwards.  It may or may not look like heck now but are you willing to roll the dice that it might look worst?

Pictures would help out here.     Just saying.

And welcome to the Universe's greatest Krag fourm!

I am a machinist and work with metal all the time and all I have is unanswered questions on the changes that plating then stripping the plating would do to the base metal. With some heat treated steels plating causes hydrogen embrittlement. (The KCA editor does not like how I spelled that word.) With my commercial parts, my plater has immediately taken the finished parts and heated them to 300F to drive out the hydrogen from the steel. Was that done when your Krag was plated or even necessary with low carbon mild steel that has been case hardened? If the original plating did not wreck the steel will exposure to more hydrogen in the stripping process harm anything? I do not know the answer to either question. Thin plating probably would not change any dimension by it self to be a concern.

Looking over your original post you have other Krags, enjoy using them and let this one be a wall hanger till you get authoritive answers.
Not sure who could give you those answers, maybe a gunsmith that works with plating on case hardened guns. Others have mentioned cost, this could be a deep money pit with little to show for it.
