De Lsile Commando Carbine MKII Copy

[enfield 111]

Hi Guys

Just finished my De Lisle Commando Carbine copy.

Here are some pics of the gun and a test fire video. It is a non-suppressed version with a 45 cal. barrel that runs the length of the fake suppressor tube.

I am interested in your feed back. I may make a limited production run of these guns as a non-restricted rifle in Canada. I am also going to make a para-version of the gun as well.

I am not sure if there is interest in re-enactment for blank firing versions of the gun and / or de-activated De Lisle Carbines ( welded and pinned to meet Canadian Gov't Specs)

Anyway take a look and I would love any feedback on the gun

Yes, I'd be interested. Don't run it by those people or they'll make the hoops so vast you'll never be able to negotiate them. If they're non restricted, they're non restricted... Maybe selling them as a kit would be easier? I'd want a full stock version, the one you demo'ed.

Please see the other thread for my feedback, yes, I'm interested.

Looks like the muzzzle is protruding a bit far from my memory of ours at work......

Hi Peter

I based the length of the barrel protrusion on the guns made by Ford not by Sterling. This gun is also based on Ser# 1015 which I believe is a combination of gun #1002 and #1015. As such it has a mix of parts from both manufacturers. I am going to make a para version and also a true Ford Gun and a Sterling gun.

You said that you have an example of a De Lisle at work. Do you have any pics of the gun? I am always interested in seeing pics of real De Lisles. I am working on the baffle stack that is historically accurate so I can do some tests with my meters and see what the sound reduction is. This version of the gun will unfortunately be classified as prohibited in Canada and can not be sold to the public.;(

Thanks

I've got pictures of the folding stock variant at Warminster. Email me a request to bdlltd@bellsouth.net and I'll send them to you.

We had 3 versions including a skeletonised version that the National Physics Laboratory had used to ascertain the requirement for bleed facility. The butt was an early Sterling SMG folding butt assembly.

I can tell you before you start that some of the stuff pumped out about the quietness of them is, how do we say it.......... 'somewhat flawed'. A silenced Mk2S Sten gun was quieter, as was the L34 using our very basic sound/noise meter. I say basic but Dr Phil Dater, who knows a bit about silencing weapons went over our figures and said that while the actual testing wasn't scientific as defined, say, under laboratory conditions, it was good.

There wiull always be slight dimensional differences during small scale production but Sterling and Ford were only a mile apart and shared toolmaking facilities. There's a bit more info in the Sterling book

I have sound tested both the sten and sterling suppressors. The noise from the bolts is the issue but I hope that the baffles de lisle designed are not too bad compared the them.
I can also make a modern monocore suppressor for the gun and compare that with the original baffles.
Thanks for the info

Lovely work, enfield 111 - congratulations!
