Hi, welcome to my blog! This blog is dedicated to all things firearms related. I hope you enjoy it.
I want this blog to appeal to a worldwide audience and so I will be focusing on firearms and shooting rather than country specific politics. There are already many great blogs defending your rights!

The original concept was called a De Lisle Commando Carbine and was indeed a SMLE rechambered to fire .45 acp rounds and were made with an integral sound suppressor for nearly silent use. They were made with a shortened barrel and either a shortened wooden stock or a folding unit.
Recently a company called Rhineland Arms made conversion kits to build your own De Lisle carbine, without the suppressor of course. As I recall, they weren’t very expensive and used standard 1911 magazines. Shotgun News had a really neat step-by-step article on the kit and built one or two themselves.
