I've got a repro De Lisle. (Shown here with my Reflex T16 .50bmg can)
Its a copy of a Sterling model De Lisle Carbine.
The guy who built it had exclusive access to an original which enabled him to build the replica as accurately as possible.
Its amazingly quiet, no problems with ejection...
Thanks for the info, primary extraction here is key as you dont want to be fighting the rifle during a course of fire.
Its all relative of course but we have 4 or 5 AR builders here in the UK.

Wow, thats some ugly duckling they got there ;)
Whilst I support any manufacturer bringing something new to the UK shooting scene, against a strong AR15 straightpull market, I'm not sure the R8 will cut the mustard.
Like the Steyr Aug before it , I can see some people buying one just to be...
Well if I remember correctly there's import duty (10% i think) and VAT to add (17.5%) plus shipping...then the dealer has to make some profit on it !
For info:
100 rounds 2007 surplus RG 62g 5.56 costs around £30
100 rounds of Wolf 9mm is £17
100 Privi 168g Match is now £59
New...

Hi
Entries from across the pond allowed ? :D
I'll try to shoot a couple of targets (red dot and 4x optic) for the sporting rifle class tomorrow night after the Christmas shoot at my local club.
I'll be using a V22 AR15, all stock, non-free float, std milspec lower etc.
Cheers
Steven
I have 5 AR's of different flavours...4 of them wear either Magpul MIAD or MOE..
The fifth one has a std A2 grip purely because I haven't gotten around to swapping it out yet...:p
IIRC the AL42 (.223) conversion uses Ruger Mini-14 mags. (5 & 20 round).
Not sure why they chose those mags over standard AR mags, which are far more common over here. (Straight-pull AR15's dominate the Practical & Civilian Service Rifle matches over here)
Cheers

British .30 carbine rifles
There are two companies over here building ,30 carbine rifles.
Armalon produces a .30 carbine bolt action based on the Enfield action. http://www.armalon.com/public/products/item/8
I have a lever action AR15 chambered in .30 carbine too...
i've got an AR In .30 carbine. It features a lever action too which is rather strange but given that i live in the uk then maybe not. I'll post pics later.
Isn't the Tavor the standard offering these days or are they still issuing M4's ? My point being, will you actually get to use an ACOG whilst you're over there ?
I have 3 ACOG's. The TA31RCOA4/ M4 and TA01NSN.
I prefer the TA31RCO Chevron reticules for snap shooting over the TA01NSN...
Well, after a wait of nearly 3 years, I picked up my new De Lisle this week.
The rifle is a replica of a Sterling built Enfield kept at the Royal Armouries in Leeds. The gunsmith who built it was given exclusive access to the original rifle in order to take measurements etc.
First chance...
They aren't houses its a Swiss Military Range - I shot there 2 years ago...
I've got a better pic somewhere...this is all I can find at the minute.
Taken to the left of where the shooter was..
and what he would have been aiming at
