We have an Armalon De Lisle replica and like it very much. Ideal for popping the buttons off Farmer Giles' waistcoat without him realising ...

Sadly that seems to be the going price for them. Not sure C&G has any built at the moment was taking orders.
My mate treats his rifle as a bit of a novelty but has a load of fun shooting it as well. Always has other shooters asking where he got it how much and any good... the 45acp does make a nice hole in the target, one day he may let me have a go with it.

If you find one for sale, make sure you get to test it or see it being tested before you buy!
There are some shockingly bad conversions floating around - feeding problems, incorrect headspace, suppressor not working, or a detachable suppressor that leaves the barrelled action under the legal minimum length.

One of our club members has a original he shoots it occasionally. When he told me how much they go for I thought he was pulling my leg.

You could try the Barbican Armoury in Durham. Google will bring up their website.

he said the last lot he did would be the last, but he is a businessman, so if there is a market, he will make more (hope he doesn't though as mine won't be the last one made anymore)
