Airsoft DeLisle Carbine?

[Lance Jackass]

Would it be possible to make a De Lisle Carbine? Im thinking TM colt.45 springer mags, original SMLE wood work, custom metal bolt and custom front end.

 

How ould you make a bolt for it? Because the aps and vsr one dont look anything like it.

[bullzebub]

everything is possible...

although i dont know what a de lisle is ...?

[Spezz]

If you played H&D 2 you would know .

It's a silenced bolt action rifle from WW2

Shouldn't be TOO hard, the pistol mag would have to be a dummy mag though.

[Lance Jackass]

why a dummy mag?

[Antagon]

Cause theres no way you'll make it feed from that mag, look at the bolt action rifles out now, they all have the mag ALL the way up front...even the CAW M24 isnt close enough to the trigger guard for your purpose.

that game rocked

the de lisle was great, that and the silenced sten

Or you could just custom build it from a Springer 1911. They don't need too much force to cock, but then again, they don't boast much power either. You're going to have to do a lot of custom work though.

[BigAl]

Try Shoot and Skoot, they make Lee Enfields, which is what the De Lisle was based on.

My dad owns a real de lisle and man it is so sweet. you can only hear the bullet hit down range like a thud noise. After close examination you might try an aps2 modified to take 1911 mags and a custom wood stock. it would take a while but it is very possible.

Never played 'No-One Lives...', but I first saw the De Lisle in a gun magazine a friend bought back from NYC (I asked him to get me something 'American' ), and loved it.

 

As far as the article could tell me, it would be a real Hollywood weapon; sneak around in the dark, taking out the bad guys without a sound There's reason to believe that the SAS were using them as late as the Falklands as well. A cool gun.

 

Krazy L: do you know what De Lisle your old man has? There were a small number of originals, but a lot of other spy shops built their own, and a British company still makes some now!

[bullzebub]

The easyest way is probably to make it a NBB ... using colt.45 (?) mags as reservoir ...

[Catchv22]

I still say get a springer M1911, use the magazine and small cocking system on it and rig a bolt around that. If I had any parts I'd try the same as it seems like a nice simple project.

[Lance Jackass]

Resurrecting the idea:

 

So a TM colt .45 mag....custom bolt, front end and stock.

 

The silencer doesnt need to actually silence though does it? Bearing in mind that actual silenced guns are about as loud as airsofts anyways.

 

I reckon i could use the tm mag, just need to change the way it fits in the mag well. Surely the mag can be near the trigger guard if springer parts are used? I mean the bolt pull shouldnt be too hard right?

 

 

cheers

[Catchv22]

Well depends on how far you'd want the barrel to go. Honestly, spring guns aren't that loud and foam can only muffle it. I'd tackle this project but I'm short on funds (like always).

 

I'd take a super 9 (or perhaps rig up your own bolt) and build it around a Springer M1911 piston. You'd have to custom modify the springer's hop or build your own. Silencers are pretty easy to make, but you'd have to find an appropriate stock.

[WMH]

The pistol mag could be faked. Take a Tanaka Kar, M700 (or whatever) and cut it down. Stick part of a pistol mag on the bottom of the tanaka mag. Make custom wood furniture. Some aluminum tube (with or without baffles and or foam) for the front part. Custom bits would be needed for front and back of suppressor thing. Sights and sling mounts could possibly be sourced from existing parts. Those metal straps from sheet aluminum.. ?

[Lance Jackass]

I want this thing to feed through the mag though

 

So if i got a TM colt .45, whacked in a 1 Joule spring and made all the parts metal it should take it?

[Catchv22]

If you made all the parts of reasonable quality metal, probably. However, that comes with a price... I'm guessing you could easily use some good quality springer internals (TM seems like the best) to make it shoot around 1J. Tightbore barrels and the like could be modified to fit as well.

 

You've made me want to try my hand at this as well...

[Lance Jackass]

Lol cheers. Im getting a tight bore made. Using a KWA hop up unit if i can source a glock one.

 

The internals will be custom, along with the bolt parts. Woodwork will be original with original buttplate etc and the front end will be custom made tubing.

 

Pictures are really hard to find though. Theres only 2 decent books with a de lisle in. One i own but the other is out of print and had some great pics in.

[Sledge]

You might be able to find some pics on a real steel sites, as some company has recently started making copies of the DeLisle.

 

[Lance Jackass]

Yeah ive seen that one kicking about. Im after some decent line drawings though. Il have to track down that book.....

[WMH]

This one is interesting, the 'DeLisle 2000'

 

[joeking27]

Ew.

 

Okay so the original was ugly too, but it was still classy. Wood stock, iron sights.

[ColSanders]

Looking at this maybe an NBB would be best.. if you don't mind the mag being off a TM Mk23 would be good and instead of double action make it so the pulling the bolt back would just cock the hammer?

Yeah but this is the obvious genesis of the design. It is after all mainly designed for sneaky stuff, so it needs to be compact and quiet. Might of been nice to of used a Sterling stock though as it was originally a British weapon.
