As a matter oif interest, Enfield submitted that the No8/Envoy configuration would be more suitable for the 'new' L42 rifle. The problem was that the triangular fore-end sits in the palm of the hand, gripped by the end of the thumb and tips of the fingers. A sniper needs to firmly hold the whole of the fore-end.

Great descriptive pictures TBox - what about the same but from the front to illustrate the point. Thanks
