If this variant was made during 1917-18, all of my ammunition references have failed to note it. Pokey means slow, sluggish. One would think that something with more rocket thrust would be more robust.
And, if the recoil bothers you, use a #5 Jungle carbine with short barrel and thick rubber butt pad.
Come on over and we'll go to the range!
Incidentally, I HAVE fired an Ishapore .308 SMLE with a steel buttplate and ammo that was de-linked, having originally been destined for machine guns. I'm 71, and my shoulder is still intact.
