I know you're looking for a De Lisle/good reproduction, but you may be interested in something 'Forgotten Weapons' (YouTube) did a video on - a modern version of a De Lisle ie not a reproduction,...

So which of the Repros do you think is best?

The 7.62*51 & 308 Winchester have the same maximum pressure - 60 191 psi (CIP) / 62 000 psi (SAAMI). I looked at the Never Exceed Pressures for various powders and bullets from 140gn to 175gn and...

That does not sound right. A case is no where near as strong, and considerably stretchier, than the action.

Someone who is an expert and/or lover of spelling mistakes?

The H&H was very satisfying to watch, especially the metal work. They seem to waste a lot of the Walnut though.

I doubt it. They make life painful, but I don't think any of the relevant people are armourers or would know what a headspace gauge was.

That's a short sighted tactic by manufacturers - one criteria in a lot of tender specs relates to life time cost and availability of parts at reasonable prices. You might fall for it once, but twice?

Yes I can see the resemblance; it may have even been partly inspired by that look.

That's not impossible, but I don't have one to compare it to. It looks like a cut down version of my other no 4's handguard, although not identical as that doesn't have the fluting. I haven't removed...

The date looks like 1943 to me.

My Grand-dad, who I gather trained at Pirbright (as I remember going to a reunion there with him when I was very young), referred to these sorts of displays (and the similar American ones) as...

Thanks guys :)

I haven't had the barrel in my hands, just seen photos and discussed via email, so I can't say what process was used on it.

Hi,
I think this is my first post on this forum, though I am a long term reader, so greetings all :)

For the record, I own a 1943 Maltby No4 Mk1- but my question is not about it.

I recently...

Hi, I am the happy owner of a 1943 Maltby manufacture No 4 Mk1 rifle. I hope to add more milsurps as opportunity, cash and my wife allow.
