NBR 1 (Naughty Black Rifle)

[Oh Shoot]

Not "evil" but certainly "naughty". Been meaning to catch up on some stuff to show, here's my 50 yard ICBM (Inner City Bad Mutha). It's just a plain jane Hi-Point 995, didn't add anything, as didn't want to detract from its natural ugliness!:

I like it a lot, really do.

The rifle has been 100%, the mags are the weak part.

First time ever shot it, Mike .357 and I ran every kind of 9mm we could find: ball, hollowpoints, reloads, etc. Mixed them all up. Could NOT make it misfeed or eject.

Then I loaded up my five mags before next trip and started getting some feed ramp jams. Hmmm. Mike and I polished feed ramp. Still intermittent failure to feeds. Hmmm. Reading up on things, discovered that by using an Uplula mag loader, I had spread the feed lips on the mags.The mags are all metal, but are pretty thin metal, and the metal plunger on the Uplula spread them some, as they are single stack and you have to be careful to center the loader. So now that I know to tweak them back together, all has been good. If anyone made a 25-30 round mag that actually works, they'd make a fortune!

Don't know if many of you saw it, but here's Mike .357's model - it's the Hi-Point 995 TS (Tacticool Stock) he picked up at the last gunshow we attended. (great pic, btw). It comes stock this way, although he added the fore end vertical grip. I'm not sure whether I prefer the Old Ugly or the New Ugly!

Nice rifle...I've heard good things about these guns. ATI makes a Beretta-clone stock for it, some people like them and some don't.

I personally think the ATI stock looks nice. I've heard it's not quite drop in as they claim, but very easy for anyone to do without any special tools required. Hope she treats ya well

For some reason, I really don't miss my 995......guess it didn't make that big of an impression on me.....

Anyways....might as well add yet another dimention of the 995.....
