LOL...the No5 Carbine does kick bad...worse in .303 with the heavier bullets...the metal butt plate really needs tucking in tight...quite an accurate little rifle though in it's day...I use one in .303 for service rifle comps...and for our Xmas shoots for a bit of fun.
That was the main reason why I traded it...i have yet to shoot a rifle that kicked that bad. It was a beautiful rifle though.
