Thought this was pretty cool, Mauser converted to .45 and suppressed! Video taken from @tylerjamalshoots on Instagram

Ok, yeah, I was skeptical. But that does look pretty cool.

LOL. Wow. That does look like fun.

Right? Seems ridiculously fun.

Also if the audio isn't working for anyone, make sure you click on the sound icon to unmute it.

Crazy how quiet a supressed .45 is especially in a bolt gun. The sound of the action seems louder than the gunshot itself. Would just love to have something like this one day.

Sounds like the DeLisle Carbine, .303 Enfield with .45 barrel, uses 1911 mags

Just watched the Forgotten Weapons and Military Arms Channel videos on the DeLisle. Sweet pieces of history! Hollywood quiet .45 ACP... Maybe that's where the smith who made this Mauser concoction got his inspiration.

Thanks for the comment, I learned something new

It is probably a Rhineland arms kit, they have them for Cetme/G3 too, I am in the process of building up both of them, we will see how they work.

I would recommed using s M1917 in .30/06 as thd base. The DeLisle required both the barrel and bolt to be machined into spiral hooks to lock together as a pseudo-breech. The .30/06 and .45 ACP have the same head size, so all you have to do is ream, rifle, and chamber the barrel.

If you are thinking of making a suppressed rifle as opposed to simply a. 45 ACP carbine, any Enfield action will be quieter since they are all, including the M1917, cock on closing actions, so there is no click like when a clock on opening action cocks.

Years ago wanted to get a bolt action, not just for shooting .45ACP but also to use for muzzleloading. Ended up converting a side lock muzzleloader instead but a dual use rifle chambered for .45ACP could have been fun.
