.22 Delisle Carbine Build (Pic heavy)

If you look at this 1st pic and think to yourself..... clean work, clever idea- continue to scroll down and see more about it

However

If you look and your brain cry's BLASPHEMY!!! :omg: then you might want to leave now, alternatively if you wish leave your rage filled comments in the comments section...... I always enjoy a colourful read! :thumbsup:

I know the Delise carbine was chambered in .45..... But when Delisle first presented his concept it was in .22, But the powers that be didn't believe the .22 to have "enough bang for its buck"
So Delisle went away and rebuilt it in .45.... which made sense as this was a caliber the army was already using.

I do not press my own ammo so I like cheap shooters thats the other reason i made this in .22 - Im not trying to anger up the purists out there, I love the Delisle carbine and this is mine!

Pretty average- so I went to work:

Attachment 68837
Attachment 68838
Attachment 68839
Attachment 68840


Now lets sort that stock out:

Attachment 68842


Fabricate and mount the sights:

Attachment 68853

Time to fabricate the fore grip:

Attachment 68845
Attachment 68846
Attachment 68847
Attachment 68848
Attachment 68849
Attachment 68850
Attachment 68851


Now for the finished piece, I still want to put some little details in it like my own manufacturing stamp.... maybe sling hooks little things like that:
Attachment 68855
Attachment 68856
Attachment 68857
Attachment 68858
Attachment 68859
Attachment 68861
Attachment 68862

Ill get a shooting video up soon, It is silent- just like its meant to be the round hitting the target makes more noise than its firing!

well done, but didnt the delisle use an archimedes screw baffle system ?

Correct!, and a ported barrel- some even had steel wool in the blast/ expansion chamber...... they were also built on the Enfield action

Im a .22 Lee Enfield nut and I love that

I love it -bloody well done.
@gundoc-didnt you build a few of these Delisle .45 replicas on the old LE actions.

I want one nearly as much as I want to motorboat Scarlett Johansson!

This is so bloody cool, great homage to the de lisle, love it

what are the baffles made from, years back i silenced a marlin camp carbine and used a material called nylatron which was a graphite impregnated polymer normally used for underwater bearings. it lathes and mills beautifully and has no resonance like metal

Because this is just a .22 i 3d printed the Baffles from ABS

I had a hunch those were 3d printed :thumbsup:

Thats very cool! love seeing conversions people do with old 22s

Awesome, looks pretty 'Industrial' for a .22.....:thumbsup:

What did you 3d print the baffles out of? Just an ordinary plastic or was it a special one?

What's the service life of the abs? A certain amount of rounds or just until it's not so quiet anymore?

The blast baffle is about 20'm thick. I have put about 1000 rounds through one of my ABS suppressor s with no visible wear

Is that 20 thousandth of something or just 20 mm.

That's quite good wear? What sort if plans did you use or was it just off a drawing off the Web?

And are the baffles hole less until the first bullet is fired like the welrod or do you drill a 22. Sized hole for the projectile?

Sorry its meant to read 20mm. Each baffle is printed with a 7mm hole in it. The baffle stack is all of my own design.

Looks like the local libraries 3d printer will be getting used a bit by me in the near future.
