This guide details the disassembly of the Bendix-Hyde Second Model prototype carbine, a competitor in the U.S. military's Light Rifle program. The video, presented by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons, highlights the complex disassembly process, noting its difficulty compared to the eventual M1 Carbine. The carbine features a gas-operated, long-stroke piston system with a tilting wedge lock and is chambered in .30 Carbine. Its rejection in favor of the Winchester design was due to reliability issues and a cumbersome disassembly procedure.
