and for less than $60
I think I'm going to replace the stock on my Hi-Point 995, not that I have an issue with the stock stock....but I just think it will be fun and from the reviews, it might make the weapon shoot better.(ok, yes it will be nicer looking with a new stock...)

any opinions?

For the money?? Why not! Especially if it'll help with better shot placement.

I'm going to order it as soon as I finish installing an over-the-stove microwave..ok, as soon as I finsih this cup of coffee then finish installing the microwave.

btw: I'm going to add a mag release extension to the order for my 10/22, that recessed stock one is a pain in the ass

You need to get your priorities in order...

[PaiN]

I ordered the stock.
When its here and I have the rifle apart, I going to give a serious bath and lube, polish the feed ramp and chamber area and go back to the peep sights

pics to come

Damn....right on que
I took the Hi-Point 995 out this morning, the gun up until today has been fine, an occational stove-pipe with the Win WB, but few and far between. Today, it went to hell, I could barely get 5 shots through before it jammed, acted the same with Blazers. I've been cleaning the weapon after each use, also.
This stinks...especially right after I ordered the ATI stock

Mag issue???

[PaiN]

Mag issue???

I'm not sure, I have 3 of the factory mags and they all did it.

maybe, its time for a google search and the subject.

how did it jam ? stovepipe.. fail to eject..fail to feed..fail to fire..etc

Its a "fail to feed" problem(I think), there is rarely a spent round in the breach and when I get the cartridge out(have to shake\tap) it has two small groves etched in it at the rim...like the extractor cut into it.
Any ideas?

[JohnB]

its a live cartridge at this point and its ejected the spent ?

[PaiN]

sry about the typo's ..hadn't finished my coffee
Once in a few there is a spent case jammed in the breach...but with every jam there is that looks like a "stovepiped" live cartridge angled in the chamber. That's what I have to shake or tap out, once the mag is dropped, it is also the case with the "groves" I described.

[JohnB]

could be the mag..could be the feed ramp, could simply be the ammo lotsa could be's try polishing the feed ramp a little bit with a scotch bright..dont go nuts with it just a lil smoothing is all thats needed

[PaiN]

I was planning polishing the ramp and chamber once it was apart. I'm also going to clean every nook of it.
I'll see how it runs after this TLC....If its still bad in the new stock I'll have to send it in, Hi-Points have a lifetime warrarty.

[JohnB]

be careful in the chamber dont get too carried away in there
