$200.. I wouldv'e done the samePicked up a HiPoint 995 classic carbine in the original "Planet of the Apes" stock with six mags for $200. It had recently been back to the factory and has the upgraded trigger.
Tinkered with it on Saturday and mounted/bore sighted an RDS. Also added a sling, buttstock mag pouch for two mags, and muzzle brake. It is a simple, basic rifle to use as a loaner and range toy.

The red dot and front sight are co-witnessed. Needs a short flip-up rear sight as a backup.
Yep. When the 995 classic first came out, I thought it was ugly. As I have gotten older, the classic looked better than the 995 TS. Being a Buckeye, I was also nostalgic to own something from Ohio. It's cheap, reliable, has a great warranty, and will fit the role as a range loaner for my friends.ape strong!
Love both my HiPoint carbines. Have them in 9mm and 45acp. Both with tactical stocks and the extra mags attached to the stock. Bushnell TRS25s atop both. Have a vertical foregrip on the 45. Both Have been absolutely flawless for me thru the years. Just wish HiPoint would make some extra capacity mags as the promags are unreliableYep.

Went to Walmart today to pick up windshield washer fluid. Sadly their ammo case was empty.It was a week ago Monday. It was a box of rimfire off the shelf at Walmart (there were about six boxes) for six and a half cents per round.
Oh wow pictures please.
HiPoint warns that use of the Promags in the 995 will damage the boltface and it is not covered by their warranty. The few times I have tried Promags in other firearms, they turned out to be garbage.Love both my HiPoint carbines. Have them in 9mm and 45acp.
