I've often wondered if that why they put the Harris bipod on the Enforcer - so that you can take a Bren/GPMG type of hold on the rifle instead...
    So True - thank God for that, I thought I was abnormal, but I must be normal as I have the same problem.

    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...

    You and me both, Alan. Every time I shot the blooming thing, I'd get a crick in my neck, and that isn't good for a chiropractor....

    I think I'll save my pennies for an L42A1 (who am I kidding....)
