Mystery Inglis HP with aluminum frame

jungle conditions,

Thus why we taught different types of conditions for cleaning. Canvas will hole the water against the weapon. This one would go all grey and fuzzy...hard to say. Maybe the frame was wrapped in a rag and buried in a box in the floor of a greenhouse like an M3 SMG that came to me once, another couple years and you'd have been able to poke a finger right through the metal. Things people do...

Hi All,

Just a quick comment about the apparent pitting. Those aren't actually pits they are raised areas. I think its aluminum oxidization. My money would be on it being stored somewhere damp as there is no signs of holster wear on the slide or frame. It also appears to me that the assembled gun was either never or very infrequently fired as there is no sign of wear on any of the working parts.

I think its aluminum oxidization.

So what it needed then was a quick bead blast and anodizing like an AR receiver. I'm pretty sure there's a simple explanation for where it came from. The other parts are easy enough to get in Canada... I expect someone will crop up with an identification before long. Might be worth asking the guys at Collector Source in Acton On. They don't have the cut up frames any more but they've seen lots of stuff, might have some insight.
