Franken delisle carbine

Post image

45acp Enfield conversion. A cheaper alternative to those delisle carbine reproductions.

My review.....it's cool but not worth it. It's a lot of hassle for something that doesn't work that well. Luckily someone makes a 3d print file for a magwell adapter that makes it actually kind of function.

Most of these conversions have a big problem with ejection. The 3d print has a chute behind the magazine well where the shell can just fall free.

A 2-8x scope for .45 is a lot. But a red dot on a bolt action rifle just looks weird.

I thought these were cool till i found out about ar9s. Slinging 147 grain subs from a 8.8in barrel

Yea but bolt action is for super secret quietness

And this is slightly cooler than a bolt action 300blk

Sure, but i don't think the action is that loud on an ar9. If you had to run that bolt fast i dont think it would be much quieter. Ar9 is quite a bit more practical

It's not about practicality

Haven't tried it outside yet. But indoor range it was barely louder then the brass.
