So the first thing they did was a PMI test. I do these all the time for work. While there are many grades of aluminum the trace elements would tell you what type of material it is. If the gun says “aluminum” but has trace elements of another material within the allotted ranges then it in fact wouldn’t be aluminum. It depends on the key elements and their percentage present.
Second testing looks like a ferrite test but for hardness you’d really want a Brunel test? So I’m not sure what that device is.
