Inglis HP - lunch box special
- Thread starter Horilka
- Start date
I lived in a small factory town for about 3 years (Trail, BC). About 1/2 the town worked at the smelter at one time. It's funny to go into some of the old homes and see all the plumbing in the whole house done with 14" pieces of pipe (lunchboxes were 15" long) and a million connectors. Or like one gentleman I knew, went into his workshop and it was FULLY stocked. When I asked him why he felt the need to take not one, but three belt sanders (all stamped COMINCO) he replied very simply while pointing at them "80 grit, 120 grit and 200 grit"

. Work the guys like mules, pay them sh1t in questionable working conditions and the concept of "supplemental income" is normally born in most of us. If it ain't bolted down it's gone when the Super looks the other way. If it is bolted down, it'll take some more time to squirrel out is all.

Just like Kimberley. Wanted anything from the mine. See if your friend threw it in the dump.
The former plant manager or shop foreman told someone that they lost at least one a week and he never did figure out how it was done. That's how I recall the story. Someone else might have heard it from the same gentleman and have a different recollection.
there are different ways to refinish firearms ,if you can't see the original factory tool marks.
Yes ,it could suggest refinished to hide finish defects after removing a serial number . the Canadian hi power serial numbers are not deep into the metal .
As for the un serialed Enfields the actions were considered a replacement part in the Canadian Army .there are lots out there with no serial #. as some fellows would order extra parts to build there own hunting rifle.

It's still stealing.
Yep. From the Corporation, which some view as a lesser crime (to some it's a sport of sorts) than stealing from an individual.
Anybody noticed the hole in the front strap of the grip? (See pic 1 and 5 of original post). This hole has a thread and it looks like was made before finish was applied, but I might be mistaken. What the hell is that hole might be for?
(Bubba) A person who improvises a solution or modify s a firearm using limited skills and/or bad taste, so that although the owner of the firearm may be satisfied with the results.
The firearms resale value, and sometimes aesthetic appearance has been decreased or reduced.

Not the hole he's talking about, look at the front of the grip. I couldn't tell why or what it's there for but it ain't supposed to be.

Speed hole.
Makes the gun shoot faster.

I missed the hole on the front strap. Agreed it isn't supposed to be there (how on earth can you tell its threaded? Eagle eyes?). This pic is an unfinished "lunch box" gun, is it possible that this hole is used for a factory jig point that is later filled in? Is it possible that this particular gun (or just frame) was used in the factory for a different purpose other than a finished firearm, and that's how it was easily removed from the factory? (a display, machinists practicum test? who knows.)
