Jon - can only think of repro 1927A1's - forget who is making them.

Thanks, P95. Have a good weekend. Deer season starts here Saturday. Gonna go play in the woods awhile I s'pose.

You probly won't like my answer, but High Point also makes one. The ugly duckling of guns!

I think you can get a M3 grease gun repo in semi auto. Also HK's USC comes in .45 IIRC. Olympic Arms also makes an AR in .45 ACP.

Good luck Jon. I'm actually taking off this weekend to spend some time with the family. But I'll be back at it next weekend.

Does that HK still come with those ridiculous ten round magazines, or have they redesigned them?

I know some company was converting them so the carbines could use grease gun mags at one time.

I wouldn't buy a 45 carbine limited to ten round clinton clips.

yor right exsoldier. My mistake. I kinda like the gun, suppose to be a lighter version of the MP5. Sigh, maybe someday I will have 1.

Is the HiPoint carbine a .45 or a .40SW? I haven't heard of the .45.

I have one in 9mm. They have a .40 and I thought at one point a .45 was planned, but I don't think the .45 is available yet.

valkrie arms makes the M3 semi auto grease gun

Thanks for the tips, guys. Yes, I have heard of the High Point but never seen one. I did think that they only came in 9mm and .40 though. Now the link to Valkyrie arms proved fruitful - not because of the grease gun - take a look at this OTHER link on their web page. Now THAT looks like a camp gun!

Shucks - Delisle - ain't that a blast from the past - stubby lookin lil' beggar that is!

I am trying to recall, but have some rusty memory, that there was a wartime Delisle that was a suppressed gun.? Or am I thinking of a Lanchester - geez, my firearm's history is so spotty.

Your memory is good, P95 - back up to a page before the one I linked here, and you'll see the other replicas they offer. There is an original-styled Delisle that has a real or replica suppressor, and then a modernized version.

I just wish I could find a nice, small, semi auto in .45 ACP. Wonder why there are so many in 9mm and .40 and so few in .45. They're all pistol cartridges so while comparative performance might vary, their performance relative to other long guns is gonna be substantively the same. Dunno. There are still a few Marlin Camp .45s around. May just go get one of those and be done with it.

Best,
Jon

Never heard of the Delisle, who fielded it?

There's just way more guns available in 9x19 than there are in .45 ACP period.

Just about anything you can build in 9x19 you can build in .40 S&W, so there you go.
