I sound like a broken record whenever I say this. Hi-Point carbines are fine rifles all of the detractors are either stating:
1. They've never shot one,
2. They're going off of looks only,
3. They're tried one using a pro-mag magazine.
Yes, the firing pins are not heat treated and they also are the ejector (gasp). However, there are plenty of hardened steel firing pins that are breaking out there and there are plenty of hi-point firing pins which never suffer a problem so that isn't an argument.
Secondly, the cheap and flimsy stock is by design. Being a blowback design and how the receiver is screwed into the stock, the stock is meant to flex to absorb the recoil of the action. The ATI stock is very sturdy and looks good but the rubber recoil pad that you put at the rear of the receiver does not fully absorb the recoil and you can damage the receiver.
I was hesitant when I first bought my 995 because of all the "complaints" but I quickly learned that the complains were not based on any facts.
