One type of Enfield we can never own...

[manbearpig]

a real shame, these would be awesome for taking out varmints, skunks and raccoons without bothering the neighbors

I think CGN'er mudpuppy makes these with fake cans.

 

[mtallman]

There are some guys on this forum who have created custom repros.
There's also a company in the states that makes them, although they don't have a good reputation (at least from my readings on this forum).

Of course, they're not silenced, but they're a neat gun to show up at the range at.

 

[manbearpig]

pff, the silencer is the whole point

btw - mudpuppy makes repros?

w ww.valkyriearms.com/delisle.htm
thats a company that makes them in the states, either fully functional or with a dummy silencer.

 

[fat tony]

I think he did at least, he had some pictures of his work in the enfield photo thread, there was a thread about it a while ago.

 

[manbearpig]

thats awesome.
a repro would be a fun project.

do they make fully functioning (minus the silencer) repros? ie: that fire .45 ACP?
or is the entire gun basically just a wallhanger?

 

[fat tony]

I think the ones he was making were fully functional except for the silencer which was really a barrel jacket, I would get in touch with him to be sure though, as I haven't seen one ever.

 

[shortandlong]

I seen pics of one of his, suh weeet!
of my vz, m14 ,svt and 336 remington I am fond of my 4 enfields the most

..... Without breaking the Law, and creating an actual working suppressor, just using standard velocity, or even "shorts" .22 LR would be a practical and fun "toy" ! ...... David K.

 

[fat tony]

I wonder if there are any .45 acp rifles out there with 24 inch or longer barrels.

 

[ollie]

This is the one I'd be more interested in owning!

 

[PerversPépère]

Ouch! the Welrod! I'm pretty sure a real one can only be found in war museums.
Nifty piece of stamped metal.

brit guns are so frikken ugly, theyre beautiful

looks like something a plumber put together during his lunch hour, lol.

 

[fat tony]

At homegunsmithdot com they were trying to put together a cadre to find out what the specs were on the Welrod. For what purpose; I'll never know. It must still be classified information, I would say that's hinting that the piece is still in use in the special forces community.

Welrod

It was destined to be produced in great quantities and parachuted to the insurgent forces in occupied territory. Its main use was for snuffing out sentinels during operations.
I guess it is so effective that it is still in use by special forces.

The end caps at the muzzle end have a little cup-like counterbore with a 45 degree or so angle on the counterbore, this was for when you pressed the muzzle against the ugly bag of water you wanted to off, it would make less of a noise, Hee hee! I like that sort of sentiment.

Most can't own this type of Enfield either:

 

[fat tony]

Check this out:

http://www.timelapse.dk/welrod.php

"The nose cap of the weapon is hollowed to enable an operator to place it tightly against the body of a person and fire. The noise is then still further reduced. This will allow the shooting of a man in a crowd with the minimum chance of detection. For this purposes, there is no question of any special training."

. . . talk about up close and personal!

 

[John Sukey]

Another one we can't own is the SMLE smoke discharger.
For you STAR WARS fans, thats the one the JAWA's used to zap R2D2

The delisle is still on the brits rolls. I think they have 600 of them? Might have seen service in the falklands and was rumoured to have been issued in Ireland. These guns are timeless in terms usefullness.
