De Lsile Commando Carbine MKII Copy

Just as a matter of interest, what are the legalities regarding the manufacture of firearms per-se or more importantly, the manufacture of silenced weapons in Canada. They look likje short barrelled rifles to me or am I on the wrong part of the continent with that interpretation?

As a defence contractor and manufacturer a company can make and sell to other companies or government agencies who are qualified and or licenced to possess a suppressor or prohibited firearm.
A dummy suppressor is fine as long as the firearm has a barrel length that falls within the min barrel length for non restricted and the overall length is in the non restricted classification as well. Short barrelled rifles would fall under restricted or prohibited class. A firearm with an integral suppressor will be prohibited no matter what the barrel length is. Canadian citizens can not possess suppressors period. No tax stamps here;(.

I found this silenced No.4 interesting. www.exordinanza.net - De Lisle Silenced Carbine I like the ejector spring arrangement.

Have you seen the baffle stack in one of these? Since it’s a concentric design, I am wondering if it uses K-baffles?

We were playing with an Osprey recently and one of the guys thought the eccentric design was new. He was really surprised when I told him about the De Lisle and that it was eccentric design.

Are you copying the De Lisle baffle stack or making a monocore? I would love to see a De Lisle with a monocore. All that volume with a modern design!

I am not sure what the baffle stack looks like. I have seen pics of this gun on the internet but not the interior of the can.

I am going to build an historically accurate baffle stack for the de Lisle test it and compare it to a modern monocore as well. Just need time to get it done!

That is a lovely piece of work. I would definitely be interested as well!

I have a friend that has known a owner of one for years, I saw/handled it once a few years ago. I asked my friend if he would call the guy to see if we could get some pictures he phoned and he (owner) said NO, not interested. Sad as the owner is fairly old and in terrible health and am surprised if he lives much longer. The owner told me once none of his kids are interested in his guns and he has some very interesting ones which is a shame.

Among others he owns a No4 converted to .30 carbine semi-auto and a original Remington muzzle loading gatling gun.

I would most definitely be interested in acquiring one!

Any chance you were at the markham gun show? Cool peice. Roughly what would one of your reproductions go for? Id be interested

Hi Yes I was at the show with it on display. I think the price will be $4,795.00 Cnd. I will be getting my FRT# for the Non-restricted version soon and will them take orders for the guns and build a limited production run.

Thanks for the interest.

In case anyone is interested, here's a photo I took a few years back of a DeLisle on display in the Imperial War Museum in London - not sure what the serial number is, but it's the only original DeLisle I've ever seen.

Looks like it's in a display case from the Malaya era from the 'whites' (white tropical best dress) in the photo, the No5 and the M1 rifle. No M1's left in my time of course but loads of spares and ammo that nobody really knew what to do with. Never saw a delisle there but we had the even better Mk2S Sten. Why the Mk2S's were painted black/yellow/dark green while the other weapons were just black/brown wood always puzzled me!
