The Howard Francis Self-Loading Carbine was a conversion from a No. 1 Mk III SMLE to the 7.63x25mm Mauser pistol cartridge. It fired in semi-automatic only and suffered some feeding and extraction problems and despite meeting accuracy and soundness of design concept never made it past prototype stage. Very light and very short carbine.
