It's no tack driver, but that's as much my fault as its. Fine at 25yrds (inchish) and begins to open up at 50. Not tried it beyond that. I reload, 5.1gr of Unique behind 190gr lead semi wad cutter. I shoot it because it's fun and makes me grin, not for scores.

2" or so at about 50m. 4" or so if just pinking
Tbh haven't shot it in awhile and i haven't loaded it for accuracy. Just fun.
The barrel is ported from about 7" though

Don't blame you for having a De Lisle itch that just needs scratching
I'd love one too, but, I'd also love a straight pull M1 Carbine aaarggh (which I would probably get more use out of as well)

Unfortunately they are in short supply so those of us with them have the power when selling i suppose. I wouldn't part with mine lightly

Used a Walter Gun Co one a few years back.
Terrible accuracy at 25m.....groups in feet not inches.
Ended up with a WelGun instead.
A firm in the USA was making them too, but stopped. They were a lot more functional, as they used the design as inspiration rather than being 100% nuts & bolt copies: it was a good design for the time but not perfect & technology has moved on.
Quite fancy making one eventually, using a No.4 donor receiver.
The one I'm interested in replicating is the Para model with Patchett (Sterling) folding stock & pistol grip.
Mmm, nice....
