[bigduke6]

I know its not a SMLE but it was made from one, does anybody know where i can get a copy of the sectioned drawing of the Delisle carbine, i have the copy of Delisles patent but am after the full dawing of the finished project.
If you google Delisle carbine in images there is carbine in its chest with a drawing behind it, Thats the one i,m after, i have seen one many years ago but cant remember where. Anyone who can direct me or can sell me a copy have the cash waiting.

"The Delisle Commando Carbine" by Skennerton. A smaller volume published a number of years ago. Don't know if it is still in print or not. The Special Interest Arms carbine is interesting, but is not really a reproduction of a Delisle.
Chap in Canada has made a number of exact Delisle repros (with solid barrel passing through the casing, for legal resons). Don't know if he posts here. His work is absolutely first class. The original Delisles were made up on DP or other lesser quality SMLEs. Probably the most challenging operation is boring out the receiver from the front so that the barrel can extend back in.
A reasonable reproduction could be made by reverse engineering dimensions by scaling from photographs.
Also, refer to "the Guns of Dagenham" by Laidler & Howroyd. The information you are seeking is there. Peter Laidler IS a member here.

The reason for the drawing is, i am making a few repro,s if i can get the drawing i can alter a few things so i can reproduce a repro with the 12" barrel (law in the UK) and dont worry any UK members i am a RFD.

Methinks you will probably have to register for the site, but it is worth it.

Better still, why don't you just contact Warminster. They have a few that they have used recently. Plus a skeletonised version that you could see and copy so I have heard. But you'll probably have to put yourself out
