There are experimental clamp on bayonets pictured in WBII, although they look very different than this one. It does look like there is a wingnut sticking out on the right rear.

CCNL 362-12 has a picture from a DVD "crusade in the Pacific" Is is not quite clear but shows a M1 or M1905E1 bayo on a carbine
CCNL 367-7 has a nice picture of Technical Sgt Richard S. Westhoven with a carbine that has a prototype lug and a T8 knife which evolved to the M4

The carbine certainly did not replace the 45 for this soldier.

Col. Raff must be the security detail for the first lady.
Here is a picture of his book:  Edited by New2brass - Sep 06 2019 at 6:19pm |

He appears to have a .45 as well as the Carbine.

Since our Carbine of the Day has the draw about the bayonet.
I've cleared it to also post this picture of a 'Improvised Bayonet' on a training rifle. Dated Feb 1942. It will need to be trimmed down so I'll try the picture and include a link to it. Link:   Edited by New2brass - Sep 06 2019 at 7:36pm |

If duct-tape had been invented pre WWII, it may have shortened the war. Imaginative soldiers could have conjured up about any wonder-weapon.

@Charlie, always a pleasure to help.
The thanks go to those who participate and contribute. There is a little button at the top right where members can thank the poster. Maybe we should make that a vote and see whose posted picture is most thanked?

@charlie. Great picture! Can’t say I get a warm and fuzzy seeing the wood partially submerged underwater, but I understand why.
@new2brass - i would be happy seeing this thread go for a month straight or more.

I think that those might be grenade cartridges on that sling, just my guess.

Carbine Day 10 Was late Oct-early Nov 42. Underwood's first shipment to Ordnance (along with Rock Ola) were I believe November 1942. It feels like a UEF doesn't it ?? But odds are it's a Inland.. IMO Cheers, Charlie-P777

Day 10 picture
Can almost make out a name on receiver, but not quite. Can kind of see a few digits on SN. They appear to be of the larger variety. We need a picture editing expert for forensics.
Day 12 picture @W5USMC - Great picture! An early? carbine still in use in 45. Type 1 flip, band, early cam slide (I think) and a 2 rivet hand guard. Would love to see how it is attached in the sling well. Also, thanks for providing the link. Lots of great pics in there! |
