It's not that hard.

Before I bought a ready built one, building one was my plan. I've got a donor rifle, and details re shortening the bolt/firing pin. The tricky parts seem to be the magazine well and getting a suitable rear sight.

It looks excellent Nick, I toyed with the idea sometime back regarding a build and due to our laws regarding the barrel etc, decided to give it a miss, have had a few ideas since, I've said it few times regarding building one you have to do it to the letter after all its the suppressor/silencer that makes it a De-Lisle..... for us here we have no choice to have a longer one but adding the 4" to the original 8" then still adding more to take it to 24" ............

I knew someone - in a roundabout way - who built one from a deactivated No1 rifle. Yep, STILL deactivated but now a deactivated deLisle! That's when the sxxx hit the fan.............. According to an over zealous cop decided that he had fundamentally altered what it originally was and NOW possessed a real deLisle - albeit 'deactivated' and still totally unable to load, fire or discharge a real round. To cut a long story short it came to the MoD (who had some originals for comparison and expert witnesses on hand) for an opinion at his suggestion plus that of a Barrister who was narrowly involved in the increasingly absolutely farcical situation before it cost even more and more from the public purse and his private finances. Common sense and '....the bleedin obvious won the day.

That's correct, the buildup can be harsh. I preferred to use "J" baffles, easier to handle and more durable.
