Awesome collection!

A superb collection. I love the De Lisle C&G Commando. Is that the Sterling version?

thanks!

its based on the later model, it looks as though it has the tube coming out of the silencer, but thats just one of the bolt heads. Its not 100% true to the original, but the silencer works and is the spiral plate design, the quality is top notch and it works :)

its a lot closer to the orignal than some, especially those that don't shorten the bolt or bring the barrel back through the action, and so leave the mag at the front of the magwell

Nice collection! Just out of interest, what's the legal position on the mares leg? In terms of OAL and barrel length?

its the same as for an LBP/LBR. So long as it meets the 12/24 inch rule or 30/60cm for metric measure it is still a long arm.

I was dead set on a Marlin '44 stainless, but this has my brain ticking... Are they any good? Any issues at all?

Henry Big Boys have a no loading gate so can only be loaded by pulling the tube out. Good for the range but probably not good for Gallery Rifle.

Also is that a real Winchester 97 or a Norinco Repro? Valmont has a second Norc repro for £350.

Thanks, I assumed it was underneath.
