h8mtv 0 Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I would be interested in seeing a 45acp version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I got it!!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!! I still need to paint the shroud... it was cheaper for silver, than black.. go figure... Although... it may grow on me and I may just keep it silver, I dunno... Here are a couple views... they are both about the same... ones got less glare I reckon... Still need the optic on it, though... Maybe a red dot? Hmm... I got one I can yank off my S12... YANNO.... These ATI stocks even come with recoil buffers?!?!? I was suprised to see that in there! Go figure... They arent much... but they got one!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
badman400 3 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) Here's the link to the carbine threads on the Hi-Point forum. All you need to know about the ATI stock/conversion, hi-cap Pro Mag fix, etc. Also a guy on there sells beautiful barrel shrouds for it. Still no ATI stock for the .40 version though. I still have a soft spot for the old Planet of the Apes original stock though, so I have one of each. http://hipoint.7.forumer.com/viewforum.php?f=4 Edited February 26, 2007 by badman400 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AegisDei 2 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Has anyone tried converting a 30rnd AR magazine? It'd take some work on the follower, the floor-plate, and feedlips, but I wouldn't think it'd be impossible... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ironhead7544 35 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I wish they would redesign it for some other mag like the AR9mm/Uzi, or STEN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AegisDei 2 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I wish they would redesign it for some other mag like the AR9mm/Uzi, or STEN. are they that different? it looks like the feed angle, but they're both single stacked 9mm mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I gotta stick up a new pic of mine... I put on a Bushnell trophy 4 position red dot... the one with the small dot, big dot, crosshair, and dot/circle. I stuck on the stock mounted mag pouch. I also painted the shroud black... so it matches... It looks wicked... :up: I was amazed... when I mounted the optic... went out to test fire... that som-bitch was almost deadnuts at 50 yards without TOUCHING the knobs on the scope!!! I was like..." DAMN! Thats SWEET!!! " What a nice little shooter that rifle is... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Onepoint 0 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Hi cap mags are the only downside to these things, I got a carbine with ATI stock a few weeks ago and tweaked it up some to taste. Found some rail stock online to make the top rail. Lots of fun for a cheap plinker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MD_Willington 11 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) Now that ain't bad at all... Pretty slick! PS, I'm stealing a picture of it! Edited April 4, 2007 by MD_Willington Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jgillaspy 24 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Hey Onepoint, Do the BUIS co-witness through the optic? To what did you attach the rail section? It looks like it free-floats above the foregrip; does it? Thanks for the picture! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MD_Willington 11 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Question for Onepoint: That is awesome! I can hardly believe that it is a Hi Point! So, you used the ATI stock, and bought the rail as a "blank" and made your own upper rail? I am correct? Please post link for the rail blanks...I will be adding a rail. Doc2005 I told him I'd post his question in here.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Onepoint 0 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 The sights are AR-15 folding type from Yankee Hill Machine, they co witness in the bottom 1/3, You can get rail stock in raw aluminum from http://egw-guns.com/catalog/ Its really not too much of a job to make one. The stock comes in 16" lengths, so you cut it down just a little to fit, and clean it up and shape the ends etc. Drill 3 holes in it, and tap them, drill 2 indents for the protrusions on the stock reciever cover and its ready to paint or finish. Attached with 3 button head screws. The rail will deflect if you pull it down, but works just fine if you keep your hands off it. I probably wouldn't mount a optic much past the receiver for that reason. Anodizing would be best, but isn't available to me. I used baking lacquer instead. Without the painting and baking time it was a 2 hour project. Here it is without the Ultrasight Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No one local carries them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MD_Willington 11 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) I'd like to see a stock similar to this terrible drawing I did... What do you think, took out the huge hump and made the forend a bit longer. Edited April 5, 2007 by MD_Willington Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 YAY!!! Free shot at more gun porn for myself! Got a pic of her all finished up... By the way... that two tone stock is SLICK!!! I REALLY dig that!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Onepoint 0 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 (edited) Well I got one on the EE on AR15.com, and about the same time I low bid another for just over $100 on gunbroker and won. It didn't have the ATI stock though. No one had them local, at least until I bought one and then I seen some. MD, I like that stock. It would be cool if the future new designed Hi-point stocks look like that. Edited April 6, 2007 by Onepoint Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MD_Willington 11 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Instead of using the pistol as the basis for there carbine, they should make another receiver, and move the magazine outside the pistol grip... Another cheezy drawing: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SuAside 2 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Instead of using the pistol as the basis for there carbine, they should make another receiver, and move the magazine outside the pistol grip... Another cheezy drawing: what the hell for? by doing that you just killed the barrel length with one third or something... this isnt the kind of gun where hi-cap is important.

Deadeye008 2 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I just updated mine with a barrell shroud and a light. I love this gun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Onepoint 0 Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) Thats one of the good things about a pistol frame type carbine, its as compact as an SBR and still has a 16" barrel. No mag to get in the way as its in the grip. The only disadvantage to the thumbhole stock is it keeps you from reaching the mag release with the trigger hand, so you have to bring up the off hand to hit the button. The Hi-point carbine isn't perfect by any means, but is a heck of a bargain for what it is. After using it, if I was going to wish for another design from Hi-point or ATI, I would just as soon go simpler, something maybe like this.

Onepoint 0 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 15 minutes with a dremel and some grades of finer sandpaper you could have yours looking exactly like that. I wish it was that simple, it took me that long to photoshop it. The stock being hollow wont let you profile it, wish it would, it would be done already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Thats where the jb weld or bondo, or maybe even expanda-foam (Greatstuff) comes in... fill in the hole, let it cure HARD... then sand and finish, repaint... Your stock is complete custom just the way you want it! It would only be a little hole where you cut off the lower portion, there... and the handle would be solid, cause the mag is in there...
