    The L butt seems to fit the short modern man only, they are usually about two finger widths too short for the average to tall modern man.

    But a much better 'fit' than a "N" or an "S".
    Unless you fit a butt-pad the "L" is about the best you'll get.
    I have found that my shooting style has adapted to be able to work reasonably well with "L" Butts.

    Yes - it is the wartime code for one of the Woodworking companies in the Midlands (but I don't know who 136 was)
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
