Is he still on holiday?
The old 303 had a very short barrel and was held vertically off the shoulder, Ready, Set, BOOM. Probably stored with the rest of the schools arsenal, including pistols, rows of 303s, .22s, brens, Stirlings etc. What a soft cock country we have become
We were complete with a range out the back! TV aerials a specialty, when the range officer wasn’t looking

We must of gone to the same school. I remember the 303 had about a 10” barrel. No doubts when the race started !!!
Our range was a concrete block wall on the back field and a danger zone template ( no such thing in those days) would have covered about a 1000 houses and the rival school across the river.

Our range was a twin wall construction, filled with sand. Houses right behind it, only shot .22 rifles and pistols
