‘Delta Defence Group’ Part Two: The Rifle
This is the second part of the two-part series on the firearms of the ‘Delta Defence Group’ a firearms manufacturer which has proven difficult to trace the origins off. Check out the first part about the “Delta Defence Group” Pistol.
“Delta Defence Group” Part One: The Pistol
This article is part of a two-part series about weapons from the “Delta Defence Group”.
This article examines the self-loading pistols produced by the Delta Defence Group, the full size ‘C6’ and the compact ‘C5’. Despite our research efforts it was not possible to find a “Delta Defence Group”, there is a similarly named Turkish import and export defence company, but they do not use the same name nor logo and appear to be a different company. A number of very similar pistols are produced by the Turkish company Sarsilmaz, the ‘B6’ and ‘B6C’, while the Italian company Tanfoglio produce the ‘Force’ and ‘Force Compact’ series, Israeli IMI/IWI pistols the ‘Jericho 941’ and the ‘Jericho 941 Compact’, and the Jordanian JAWS ‘JTP-9’ and the ‘JTP-9C’, but they do not match the “Delta Defence Group” pistols completely. After further research, pistols of the exact design were found, with completely different markings under the model name ‘Cherokee’ by Bul Armory – an Israeli company. The Delta Defence Group pistols correspond with the third generation Cherokee FS and Cherokee Compact. The Cherokee FS and Compact are reported to be assembled by Bul Armory, but it is likely that they do not produce the parts themselves.
