One of my grail guns. Do they import to the U.S.? I'd simply be happy to buy a fully-sourced US version. me too....I have even thought about making a Guerrilla version from a K98, enfield, or springfield....or hell even a modern bolt gun...but I keep putting it off. |

If the can is permanently affixed to the barrel, it's a one stamp gun. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Yes they export, but i've no idea about your end with the can and short barrel etc If the can is permanently affixed to the barrel, it's a one stamp gun. Yup but not sure on importation of NFA guns. |

A buddy of mine ordered a repro one a number of years ago, not sure if he ever got it or not.
cool gun. |

I like the older version where they modified an Enfield .303 mag. The front half held a very small amount of .45 rounds and the back part of the mag would catch the spent shells.

We need a like button! Thanks for posting this...that's a pretty awesome gun! I'd never heard of it.

Those are beauties for sure. I made one of these myself. Unfortunately, since I live in Illinois, my "suppressor" is non-functional. The gun is modeled after some pictures that were sent to me by the curator of a British military firearms museum. It was quite a project... lots more to it that you would think, at a casual glance. As the original version, mine has a Thompson barrel (with an extension welded on, so it's not a SBR). The barrel is set back into the receiver, as the originals which allows the magazine to be correctly positioned against the trigger guard. This, in turn, required shortening of the bolt body. I made the wood forearm from scratch. Even the standard 1911 magazines requrie modification. There is a rib silver soldered up the rear of the mag that has a notch cut to engage the mag release. I think the buttstock is the only "major" piece that didn't require modification or manufacture from scratch. View Quote Nice job |

I have an S&H integrally-suppressed Marlin Camp .45, which was probably inspired by that Delisle carbine...

I'm sitting on an approved Form 1 for a .45 cal 16" suppressor and just haven't had the time to build one yet.

That's quite the elevation adjustment on that rear sight!
Looks like the 200 yard setting would raise it to about the height of the 1200 yard volley sights of the rifles. |

Have you heard the integrally suppressed Ruger 77/357 conversions? They are supposed to be outstanding using .38 special. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I have a #1MkIII that would be a perfect donor for such a project. However, I think I would like to set mine up with a mount for my .45-Octane. More of a tribute than a reproduction. I'll bet .45acp from a long barrel (longer than a pistol) and bolt-action would be really quiet. I'd only be interested in using the #1MkIII in .45acp simply for the coolness factor I just love the imperial look of the SMLE. My donor rifle would be perfect for such a project because it is a trashed BSA #1Mk.III that came out of an Indian Armory. The barrel is a sewer pipe and bent (badly) so it's useless, no sights or front end parts. The wood all rotted away. I do have a complete bolt, receiver and a spare buttstock and semi-finished sporter forend so all I really need is a conversion kit (barrel, mag adapter, extractor, etc.). Unfortunately, it looks like those kits just aren't around anymore. I guess when the surplus guns dried up so did demand for the kits. |

British firearms are too polite to make much noise. A lesson some Congress critters should learn.

Beautiful. Of the two I prefer the full stocked one but the para stock is not to shabby either.

I've shot my friend's replica several times. They are very neat, historically, but you can make something modern that is just as quiet, half the weight, and a quarter the price. View Quote A CA/NY AR with left side charging handle and no gas tube would do the same and its all parts off the open market. In a rifle cartridge. Back to the History Channel. Interesting and it had a place in the day. I wouldn't call it a just a fun range toy - but it would be. |

That's super cool and makes my wanna be mauser build look like shit

I have one of these. Quality no where near as good as the one in your pictures though!!

For those wanting to make their own, Special Interest Arms makes the 45ACP barrels and conversion kits for Lee Enfields, and then you could make your own Form 1 can to go with.
That said, the old fucker at SIA is a nightmare to work with, you will get what you ordered EVENTUALLY but it takes a lot of contact and threats of recalling checks to even get the stuff. When you do get it, its decent though and a solid base to make your own DeLisle! |

Looks like something Jawas would have in their sandcrawler armory.

He's built some neat guns, but every thing I've contacted him about building, he claims they are too difficult and he's no longer offering that service. Why keep it in the website then? |
