Hi-Point 995 Carbine

[191147cali]

cool gun your the first one that i seen to modify the hi point you have to make a video how you did it . nice gun

[miguelbermea]

What stock is that how much did it run you?

[WildBillCody68]

@miguelbermea, most of it was labor, I bought the folding VZ-58 stock, and a air-soft fake suppressor that I modified. I'm going to make a better video showing the progress making the stock.

[monkadelic13]

nice custom job... but i thought making your own suppersors were illegal as hell and can run you up to 10 years.. i know you can buy them legally registered with the atf with a 250 co charge or something like that... i might be wrong, just be careful :P

[WildBillCody68]

@monkadelic13 it is not a real suppressor, I.E. just for looks covering up the perfectly legal 16" barrel. But thanks for the heads up.

[AmericaStandsStrong1]

@monkadelic13 It's a $200 tax to the ATF with a background check. You can make them yourself with a Class III license I believe. To make one yourself you not only need the license, but you need to pay a $5 to the ATF.

[monkadelic13]

@AmericaStandsStrong1 i see. i knew you had to pay a bunch of money to get a fed license for them but wasnt sure how the homemade ones went. i madea barrel shroud out of PVC that im sure would get looks if i got pulled over with it in the truck

[AmericaStandsStrong1]

@monkadelic13 A barrel shroud is not illegal at all, it is a safety feature.

How well does your rifle work? Does it feed and extract ammo well? No jams, etc.

[vewdew3]

@machineguntongue im not the maker of the video but the 995 is way reliable and it's made in the usa, hipoint also warranties it for life for any reason if it should malfunction send it back and they'll fix it for free...

[WildBillCody68]

@machineguntongue , works great with the factory mags, no jams, the 15 rd promag works sometimes.

Customizing a Hi-Point is like polishing a turd

[WildBillCody68]

Granted they are ugly, but have you ever shot one?

[TheJomogogo]

@WildBillCody68

No, but I'm not criticizing them, I've heard good things about Hi-Points and for the money they seem like a deal.

I just wouldn't waste $ customizing a 200 dollar gun. Their price is their best feature, throwing away money making them fancy is counter productive.

For that matter tossing cash at any gun is something of a waste, I've done it several times and in retrospect I'd have been better off leaving them alone.

[trunkisloud]

@TheJomogogo seems like i saw you say the same thing on another hi-point video.....

[TheJomogogo]

@trunkisloud

That's right I have.

Good advice bears repeating.

[piketyl000]

that sounds exactly like it does without a 10 foot suppressor on it

[andrewvanrhoberts]

@piketyl000

lolwut?

[WildBillCody68]

@piketyl000, that's because it is a barrel shroud not a suppressor.

[TheBondoBandit]

can it still fire folded or does the stock get in the way ?

[WildBillCody68]

@TheBondoBandit, you can shoot it folded or open.

[basskillaz]

gun looks awesome like that!!,

[WildBillCody68]

@basskillaz Thanks

[454z28ohyeah]

hi,where did you get the barrel shroud/suppesser?

[WildBillCody68]

@454z28ohyeah I made it.

[nangus31]

[WildBillCody68]
