Copy of De Lisle Carbine?

[Dr. Strangelove]

Sadly as you rightly say it would fall foul of the reclassification and would most definitely be S5.

I thought if the silencer was integral to the weapon then it would count as part of the barrel and therefore not be S5?

The barrel on a De-Lisle is 8 1/2", so too short for the UK, you could as you say make the silencer as part of the barrel, but then you could not strip it down to clean, to go to the trouble to produce an exact replica you would want to strip it down, plus I doubt the felt that linned the inside of the silencer tube would last that long so would need replacing and I cant remember if the folding stock variant would take the total length under 24" ?

Very easy to build a replica to comply with our rules, but it just wouldnt be a De-Lisle.

And, where can you find a Lanchester Mk.1 rear sight ??? The copies all use the SMLE rear sight. Anyone with a Lanchester they are stripping for parts as a museum I know is looking for an ORIGINAL Mk.1 select fire trigger group.

The very best reproductions of which I am aware have been made by a chap who has posted at weaponsguild and CGN under the board name "mudpuppy". His use a full length barrel inside the casing, of course, to comply with Canadian law.
