Exclamation Out of rail space on my rifle?

I just recently got a Hi point 9 mm carbine for my seventeenth. My father is in the military and so has plenty of free attachable accessories. The only problem is that I don't really have room.Here's a picture of the rifle: Google Image Result for http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu329/sikider/new995.jpg

The entire front under-rail, just about, is covered by just my flashlight.I'd like to have a foregrip attached, a laser, the flashlight and possibly a clip for mags or something similar.

Now, i thought i had discovered a solution. I searched and found a quad rail barrel attachment specifically for my gun, but how exactly would it be attached? would be cumbersome attached to the length of barrel protruding from the stock? If so, are there any ways to manually attach rails to the sides of the front part of the stock? Thanks for all help.

It appears that it clamps onto the barrel. May be fine for flashlite, etc. but i wouldn'y mount sights to it as it may slip some due to recoil, throwing the sights off.

Have you considered that those accessories really don't add much to the carbine and that the term KISS is really what you should go for on that sort of carbine. Also, wrt the flashlight, you can do what most people do and mount it on the right side of the forend.

Pretty much anything that belongs to the military I and my fellow taxpayers paid for, so I might debate them being "free". Please elaborate as to how your dad being in the military provides you with free accessories, I'd love to hear it.

Probably an armorer and can grab some cast offs that would otherwise be heading for the trash and fix them.

I apoligize for my wording, and i understand how that could be interpretated. I simply meant that after his deployment overseas, he has issued items that he doesnt want or need and therefore can either sell them or give them away. So the logic behind my statement was that to me it is free because i didnt necessarily pay for it, being a poor student. I never intended to boast or offend anyone.

Ok Alex, thanks for straightening that out... I think my wording was perhaps a little harsh. I just figured stuff like that had to be returned after use.
