Would you have other high résolution pictures of this Howard Francis carbine ?
You can send me them at 500sw@free.fr
Can it be seen in a museum or is it in a private collection ?
Thanx.
Gaston

Was this carbine intended for combat or hunting?

I know it is a prototype but it lacks a flash hider & bayonet mount, it may not need a flash hider being chambered for 7.63×25.

Was it to weak for 7.62×25 tokarev

It indeed does look like nice carbine to have and wouldn’t mind having one. I’m looking forward to your blogs on this when you do build it.

IMO: One of many designs that came a bit late. Would have been a world beater in 1915. Would have also been useful in 1939-1940.
