Thread: A wee project for myself

keneff does have a point......replica is opposite of authentic...... a replica made to authentic specifications would be more ....ummmm betterer Engrish....
plurry nice workmanship. does anyone do them in .32/20????? that would be an interesting wee rifle to own with similar power to the other cartridges.

Neither, stainless steel. That is the one modification I have done as Duralium oxidises badly (that was obvious in the originals I examined in the UK). The baffles are true to the original design but better material.

An authentic replica is one that is manufactured to the same exact specs using the same materials, and looks identical. A replica only has to look similar.

What would the cost of one of these be? Always thought they were a very interesting gun and one day would be nice to own one.

As a cheap alternative there's a thread on here about converting a 22 lr to a few lisle carbine

Most of the external parts made, barrel fitted but not yet chambered. Now all the little parts that you can't see need to be made (trigger mechanism, mag catch, suppressor internals, Picatinny rail). I have mocked it up for the photo with my 3x Weaver which I will use (if I can't see it clearly with the 3x then it is too far for the 9mm).

Wouldnt an authentic replica be getting pretty marginal in terms of the Police overall length interpretations?

There are quite a few detail photos here,

The De Lisle Commando carbine is 895mm long. The NZ overall minimum length limit is 762mm, so the De Lisle is well over. There was only one prototype De Lisle made with a folding stock. The production guns were all the conventional wood stock.

It amazes me of what you can do with the old .303, I have still got my first 1918 longtom action .303, its a gun cupboard queen and have been thinking maybe a rebuild to a .45-70, don`t know where I got that idea from. with a 27" barrel make a nasty pig gun.

A folding stock would make it a pistol right if it was used?

I used to have a replica, don't know if it was one of yours but it felt like it weighed a tonne (45 ACP mind you)

Will this one be relatively light?

If it is able to be fired while folded, then yes.

Very cool build! Right up my alley. Loving that bit of machining, well done.
