    The sound signature of the DeLisle was certainly different than the Sten Mk.2S and at least we are comparing contemporaries there. The DeLisle did exhibit a much different sound than the Mk.2S but I much preferred the DeLisle. The single shot without the bolt slamming shut was much more to my liking and also the sighting on the DeLislel was FAR superior to the Sten....(my opinion). Sound moderation has developed by leaps and bounds over the years with some of the best kit still coming out of the UKicon (again my opinion and even though the good Doctor who was in to see you this summer at Warminister claims to be the best) I still find the UK has some of the best kit around out there. Mind you the Madsen K with a can has to be one of the best up until recent years. However; again a much different signature and I don't have the decibel readings, but to the ear it is a different sound that one does not associate with a firearm. Which is best: the apple or the orange???
    On what public domain can we find the DeLisle papers ?? or are they just available for public viewing now??

    Warren,

    You can download his patent, description and 2 small drawings, I have a copy of the full size drawing and with the two small drawings of the striker, and the modified bolt head.

    Patent application: No 3756/43 & 7964/43 May 19, 1943 (it should all come under GB 579168 (A) )
