Considering that a 45 Enfield has an effective distance 100 to 250 yards depending on the shooter, one might consider blackening and greening the weapon, flip up scope covers that hide reflection as well, a hush puppy, a G suit which matches your surroundings, and being recessed back or seemingly obscured. Duh The drum puts the shooter too high off the deck.

The absolute proof is the ProMag 1911 drum magazine. I'd love to have a DeLisle replica myself someday but they're pricey and the suppressor tax stamp is another $200 down the drain. Valkyrie Arms previously made an interesting DeLisle but their page is down now. I'd love to have one of the SIA enfield conversions in 7.62x39 too! I love cheap ammo.

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.
