Thread: .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!!! 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!

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!
