Isn't the same true of the 1974 stock? They're designed for leaning,
not for sitting.


1974? The bum perches in other stocks and pretty much flush up against the
wall with maybe a few inches behind. These things have about 9 inches of
wasted space behind them. Its the same story throughout the interior.


I meant 1973. Which, following extensive testing this morning, I can
confirm has space behind the bum rest, but it's too high up to
actually sit on.

Perhaps the reason the panel below the perch is so tall and thick is
that is has some sort of equipment in it?
