Hi-Point Carbine

I asked the same question awhile back, got no response. It seems adequate for the price, but there are probably much better options, just way out of the price range.

With free ammo, I could see this being something useful to have around. Maybe put a hundred bucks into it with a machinist/gun smith and it'll be a good weapon.

Their pistols are garbage and while I have no experience with them, CoastieGM praises them. Or it may be tenfoe. One or the other really likes them.

AR-15.

A mini-14 would be good too.

It is heavy but everything I have heard about it was positive. Totally different than the hi-pernt pistols. At one time you could get those for around $200, what are they going for now?

Hell buy one. If nothing else you should be able to soak it in kroil and have a really fun bullet waster.

I had one. It was the basic carbine. I liked it but wound up trading it because I didn't use it much. I got a ccw pistol for it.

My understanding is they are reliable and fun shooters. The carbines were the only High Point product that the gun store I used to at in Nashville would carry. If you get it cheap enough, why not?

I bought one a couple months ago.
Finally shot it for first time today.
Put about 50 rounds through it , at 25 yards, standing , no support, factory sights. Every one on a sheet of paper.

Cycled fine, is a bit heavy , but is quick to re-aquire target.

Mine is .45 and for the money I am happy
