The female insert in the fasst change is made of steel - U can you copper plate steel and it also sounds like you can plate Al as well:
An acid copper plating bath and process for using with electropositive metals such as aluminum and tungsten is described, wherein the bath contains sulfuric acid, copper sulfate, in solution with urea as a levelling agent, a cationic surfactant as a wetting agent and an ester of a sulfonic acid, Beta-phenylethyltosylate as a brightening agent.
I really like the lines that the curved grips add, nice choice!
Oh and don't forget to take off the top tube I mean do you really need 10 shots
