Re: Baffle Design suggestions for offset 45ACP (Delisle)

When doing your draft the key to the suppressor is the base that is fixed to the receiver. It establishes the eccentric timing of the outer tube and strength to hold everything from getting knocked out of line. The barrel is put under tension with a section of tubing fixed to the receiver base and ...

Re: Baffle Design suggestions for offset 45ACP (Delisle)

My next step was to bore out the receiver using an offset bore, luckily my VFD came in before I had to wait on it. Jigging this up took hours, but it was worth it. https://i.imgur.com/13l6UO1.jpg My next step was to cut the bolt down to fit into the new space. Enfields use rear locking lugs, which a...

Re: Baffle Design suggestions for offset 45ACP (Delisle)

While I waited for the replacement VFD, I began work on insetting the barrel into the receiver, the original Delisle recessed the barrel into the receiver to facilitate feeding rounds into the chamber. A .303 British round is about 3" long, while a 45ACP is about 1.25". I didn't want the s...

Re: Baffle Design suggestions for offset 45ACP (Delisle)

My next step was to build an adapter that mates the Enfield receiver to the folding stock and the ar15 grip. in these first pictures the adapter is only roughed in, as I wanted to be sure the ergonomics were right later once I had the chassis closer to completion. Here is the stock adapter with the ...

Re: Baffle Design suggestions for offset 45ACP (Delisle)

Are you building the host rifle from scratch, or have you found a .45 ACP bolt action rifle or converted one? Please, please post your photos! While I draft the suppressor internal idea for Capt. Link, I'd be happy to share the build progress. I have a NFA trust with my brother and father, and as s...

Re: Baffle Design suggestions for offset 45ACP (Delisle)

Thats a great idea, I was trying to come up with a way to preserve accuracy while still using the offset design, and that sounds like it would do exactly that. Would you vent the smaller tube into the larger somehow?

Thanks for the help.
