Thank you sir.. I have yet to see one of yours but have only heard good things.
Yes lots of work involved but fun builds.
I am doing the short ported barrels the same as the Stirling production rifles but found the muzzle cone and extractor cut out of the Ford Dagenham delisles work a little better so have gone that direction. The suppressors are duralium like the stirlings but 3mm thick so I dont run the brass blast chamber sleeve. The thicker tube wall is a bit quieter and means I can screw the replica Lanchaster rear sight block to it instead of having to use solid flush rivets. Another small improvement I made was directing the rotary ports 30 degrees rearward into the defuser.

Lovely work, well done. It was on my list of to dos.
