how hard would this be to make?

how hard would this be to make?
Its an Enfield adapted to 44magnum, useing Desert Egale magazines for the adaptation.
Does it look difficult?
This would be cool.
Nevermind the suppressor, I'd pay for one without it- just a normal barrel!

I seem to remember the Delisle being chambered for the .45 ACP. The .44 Magnum didn't exist when the Delisle was designed. Perhaps I was wrong.

The original DeLisle was chambered for the .45 ACP and used GI M1911 magazines; it also had a short barrel and a silencer. The one pictured is a modern repro with an 16" barrel and a dummy silencer. I knew they were being made in .45 ACP, but had not known they were being made in .44 Magnum.

As to making one, I don't think it would be very hard, but the cost could get high unless one is capable of doing most of the work.

What does the repro sell for?
