Long Branch butts are marked "N" for normal on the heel. They marked them, "B" = Bantam, "S" = Short, "N" = Normal, "L" = Long.
Canadian
FN C1/C1A1 rifles even had "XL" butts for real tall fellers!

I can't see any ref to Bantam butts on our No4 parts list. Maybe it was a US/Can requirement

That's right, All those markings on the FN butts too. I liked the XL for shooting.

I imported a large number of Long Branch No.4's in 2001 that were former Greek Army issue and out of just short of 200 there was only one fitted with a Bantam length buttstock so they obviously weren't used much unless the shooter was 5' tall or shorter! I've sold many to guys who wanted to use them to make book ends for their gun room library. They are beautiful black walnut.

The mass of them would be still in the wrap in the armorer's shop. New, walnut and way short. I used to hang out there...

I was once told that the main purpose for the bantam stocks was for cadet rifles, anybody ever hear anything to this effect?
