It looks kinda cool to me. What is it?

 

Original Hi point 995 AKA The Ape Gun

Looks better than a AR

 

 

NCBrit had a really nice one for sale many months ago.

 

The ejection port looks like a shotgun but the barrel is small. Is it 9mm?

 

Not real pretty and not terribly accurate, but a helluva lot of fun to shoot. We're keeping ours in the stable.

 

As long as it sends a shiver up yer leg!

 

congrats on the new "Monkey Gun".

 

never will i ever....

 

And here I thought it was a grease gun.

There's so much fugly in that pic I'm surprised it posted.

Two questions:
1. You seem to be posting a picture from majicmike's home?
2. Is that a lotion bottle that says, "Lovin', drink it up?"

 

I wouldn't mind one. Take the stock off, make a ar15 adapter, thread the end for a suppressor.

Give me one and a week and I bet I change a few minds.

 

Let the Haters hate.... They may not be pretty, but they sure are fun to shoot, plus I am a big fan of Pistol caliber carbines.

 

Does it actually work?

 

Haven't fire it yet but hopefully it doesn't .thats the great thing about hi points,,, a no question asked warrenty. It's kinda of beat up so if doesn't work properly they will basically rebuild the rifle from scratch with all new parts

 

I seldom admit that I also have a desire to find a used Hi-Point 9mm rifle for cheap... even think about converting a 40 to 10mm, just to see if it might not blow up!

 

I love that emiticon!

...copied it!

 

My 995 (the newer one) has never malfunctioned, never been cleaned, and has probably had 1500 or so rounds through it. Apparently the firing pin channel corrodes over time, but I don't know that for sure...

Ugly as all hell, but reliable as could be.

So much truth in that.

You take the little charging handle knob thing off?

 

Its on the left side

 

Great find, you'll love it.

 

It's on the other side, MuShu.

Oops, beat me to it.

 

FYI if you want the new style stock..call hipoint and they will ship one to you for $40.

 

This is the model I wanted,,,Almost could have bought a new one for what I paid.

 

Fugly, and I just recommended one to a friend as a house gun.... Pretty is as pretty does.


.... but damm it's ugly.

 

I found a couple of these in pawn shops in the past...picked one up for 100 and the other for around 125. I sold one and traded another for an sks thanks to armslist.

I keep hopin to find another one someday all beat to crap in a pawn shop so I can qet it cheap.

On a side note...century has some of these in their odd lots bin alonq with a ton of the pistols.

 

I've had one of these since the mid to late ninety's. Can't remember the exact year, but mounted a low power fixed scope and have beat the crap out of it. Rarely cleaned or lubed it because it was so cheap when I bought it (on a whim because of the $100 price tag new). As long as I smack the mag against the palm of my hand to fully seat the bullets to the rear of the mag, it chugs along with nary a hiccup. Lots of fun to shoot and minute of ground hog accuracy. Let the haters hate; the rest of us will keep having a blast with 'em.

 

Kidding. Nice find. The price has gotta be right on something like that though.

 

Sadly it was 240 OTD,,,,I was hoping to stay around 200 but this is the only one I've seen for sale in a LGS in a long time so I didn't want to pas it up,
