Thread: Another .45acp Delisle Comando Carbine completed.

Contact the shop guys. info@shooterready.co.nz

I'm gonna need to throw a bunch of dosh your way again Wingman and get one of these.......

just a couple ready then

Only a couple left.. ph is ringing off the hook today..

Here's a special little build I just completed, a replica of the only known prototype of the Paratrooper Delisle Commando carbine built by Stirling.
This one has the under folding Stirling SMG stock fixed in the open position and doesnt include any of the locking latch mechanism on the grip so it can be shot on std A cat.
I wanted a more war-torn patina look on this one rather than the perfect new oiled walnut and ceracoated metalwork.
I rust blued the new metal parts and then aged/stressed it with wear on the high spots and aged the new walnut with a blow torch, used diesel oil and a few kicks around the carpark..
The Duralium suppressor is finish with "Midnight" ceracoat which best matches the aged anodizing of the originals. I will buff through a few of the high spots of it with steel wool to age that a little more too.

Yeah I'll cut that one up for you.. that 1400yd rear aperture sight will be a great improvement on the Delisle

As all the others have said: Fantastic work!
I’m surprised by just how popular these have remained!!

First class job as usual, great stuff thanks for showing.
