Arctic family's HP 995
Arctic 995
I'd paid almost $300 for a Pump .22mag carbine.
For what it costs and how it performes, its one the better less known values out there.
Our family has had our 995 carbine for a few years, we changed the factory stock because of the freakishly small trigger guard to the ATI replacement stock, my oldest daughter loves it, the coldest wx weve shot it was a day outing at -27F.
Im amazed at the range (distance) we can shoot it can shredd a coffee can at 234paces offhand, the guy with the aimpoint sighted SKS that was competeing with my 14yro girl never touched it, made me think that for the price we pay for ammo the 7.62x39 (20round box) and 9mm (50 round box) the 9mm carbine is way cheaper to shoot than a SKS.
the 995 so far, reliably feeds Gold dot ammo, trunucated cone hp, fmj, Lrn without a hitch.
I was given my 995 as it was blown up, the fellow that bought it had it shot some questionable reloads out of it and pitched it minus the mags, the round had blown the case head off and bulged the chamber, tearing off the extractor claw,
HP has a unlimited lifetime warranty on their products.for the cost of third class postage it cost me $14.73! The 995 was returned via UPS in a new box with 2 mags, sling,scope mount and sling swivels and manual (i sent in just the weapon only)
Hi-Point service says they have no problems with repairs, when I called I said mine was picked from garbage HP service tech said no problem send it in, I said Im not the original buyer HP service tech said no problem, I said it was blown up from hot reloaded ammo, HP service tech said no problem sent it to them, the helpfull lady said they had melted/burnt guns sent in from a house fire and Hy-Point replaced them
!:yup:
