    We had a few stories like that, one man diving into the mud head first and driving his FN into the mud to the gas plug, pulling it out and taking aim...only to be stopped by staff. One woman running down range until her pants fell to her ankles tripping her. She weighed about 250 lbs so...nothing to see here. She was recovered by range staff and led away weeping. Another woman firer falling so far behind that they had all arrived at post while she was at the mid range. She decided that the mid range standing position would do and was about to fire from 50 yd behind the rest...Staff stopped that one too. There were others.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Apologies to the OP, we seem to have wandered off Butt Lengths.
    Pete, you and I are in our seventies, soon these old stories will fade as we will.
    Maybe we should start a thread specifically about this type of anecdote, so when we are dust, forum members will still get a chuckle.

    Maybe; but post 22 seems to contain reference to butt width, if that's any consolation.
