    The carbine in the first photo with the taped on knife is just a model and not a real carbine. The modified carbine with the spike bayonet was found to be weak over all and a spike bayonet is not as useful as a blade/knife type. But the mounting idea was later adapted by Howa when they made the carbines for Thailand.
