A guy at the club I am a member of let me shoot a suppressed ruger lever action .44 mag. The suppressor was built into/part of the barrel, it just looked like a really thick bull barrel. I was shooting his reloads, it was quiet, I pulled my earplugs out and it was about like shooting a pellet gun.

There was a company making a Delisle, Valkyrie? Faithful repro, tho...not modernized.

Quoted: And question two: has anyone made a modernized version, updating the ergonomics(as much as one can on a bolt rifle, at least), materials, suppressor design and magazine? Because I rather like the idea of a synthetic-stocked (possibly even with an AR-style tube and grip) DeLisle with a rail to mount a RDS and a magwell that takes something like Glock 21 magazines, or perhaps Uzi or Thompson mags. I'm sure there are those who think that sounds awful, but if you saw someone at the range with one you'd be itching to give it a try. |

I submitted a Form 1 last week for building my take on a "modernized" DeLisle. It will be a quick detach barrel/suppressor take down rifle and will likely utilize a modern doublestack magazine.

A Ruger 77/44 with subsonic loads is quiet. As far as being quieter, I am not sure how practical "quieter" actually is when you get to those sound levels.

The Delisle is an awesome specialty weapon. Another is the real OSS suppressed M3 Grease Gun.
Hits on a steel E-type silhouette give you "Bong!" reports louder than the bolt reciprocating back and forth. Kinda like an air hammer. |

I think a modern DeLisle would be:
Bolt action .300blk Integrally suppressed AR mag fed More easily attainable would be a Mossberg MVP or Ruger Scout, re-barreled with a 6-10" .300blk and threaded for a suppressor. Either way you're quiet, compact and mimicking .45 ballistics. |

.300 blkout is pretty quiet, not heard it in person, but videos and many others have said the same.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_D9neCL2c8I've got one. I've had it measured by proper equipment. It will never be as quiet as a bolt gun due to the action noise. Whether that matters at that level of suppression is in the eye of the beholder. I'm still building a DeLisle because it will be quieter. Secondly because 230 grain .45 bullets are designed to work at 980 fps where the vast majority of 220+ .30 cal bullets may as well be FMJ at subsonic speed. But that's another can of worms. |

Just give it a real grip stock like the SIA above, and have the barrel/suppressor come off with a 60 degree twist for takedown, add iron sights and some type of short forearm on the can to house the takedown locking pin. Also, a purpose designed magwell. |

There are various replacement stocks for the SMLE action that do not mimic the original profile, so that should not be a huge issue. Or, you could always just go Mauser action, which opens up a whole world of stocks and accessories, including the Rhineland .45 ACP conversion method and parts. |

I can't imagine it being quiet enough (compared to a 300bl AR or SD3) to warrant actually carrying another gun.
Unless it's just a thought experiment. The quietest gun I have ever shot with actual stopping power was a Thompson Contender shooting 41spc Not this one, but same idea

I've already got an Enfield action stripped for this project. Just trying to tie up some other projects before I get balls deep into this one. |

I quite like the ergonomics of an Enfield in a replacement plastic stock with a full grip. Now that's what I'm talking about. The stock/grip is really the most dispensable part of my idea, mostly because while I can see the value of improved sights and higher capacity, I really have no way to know if the modern black rifle type of layout is sensible on a bolt gun. (Short of actually shooting one, that is. And I haven't exactly seen many in my neck of the woods.) And your DeLisle, with its doublestack mag, hits the one thing that none of the other carbines posted have addressed. However, that is rather a beautiful firearm that MonkeyTurbo posted. Prettiest stock I've ever seen holding a Lee-Enfield action. |

Actually, since it seems like my idea is no longer so original, I'm willing to take suggestions on features. It's gotta stay Enfield, eccentric, QD take down, and doublestack. Other than that, what should it be/have?

And when you go subsonic with a .30 caliber projectile, you give up a lot. If you're going to restrict velocity (to stay subsonic), the only way to add energy is to add mass. I'd want to stick with .45acp if not move up to a big bore revolver cartridge like .44mag or .45colt. |

SRT Arms makes an integral 77/44. I've also seen a Ruger 77 rebarreled to .45acp with an integral suppressor, I didn't get to hear it shoot though.
Several companies have integral Marlin Camp Carbines in both 9mm and .45acp but that gun is blowback operated so still louder than a bolt gun would be. |
