New to the sight and as I surf the net looking at the HP carbines figured I would post pics of some interesting mods or paint jobs I have seen or liked. Please feel free to add on to the pictures of your carbine, good groups or whatever else you wish to share. Then I don't have to spend all day on the net trying to find it. Here is some I have found that I liked. Many of you may have allready seen them or they may be your guns. I'm sure I could spend hours searching the sight for all the pics but a long thread of nothing but coool pics would be nice

Good shooting,

BT

So, I thought I would show off my new-to-me 995TS. I bought it with a DIY camo paint job that looked decent enough (a few scratches here and there and unpainted patches from removed accessories), but it wasn't really my style. Goof-Off did a great job stripping the old paint without damaging the factory finish or any plastic parts. I re-painted the receiver shroud with some "rattle can gloss black" that matched the barrel quite well. I painted the stock with Hunter's Specialties Permanent Camo "Mud Brown", followed by a couple coats of matte clear coat. All said and never done, I am quite pleased with the outcome.

Now I am off to find that red-dot and the 45deg offset rail....

Nope underground a new GF has a huge mark up and you lose half the value right out the door, plus my gf knows where all my stuff is, cause she moved it all around, its a girl thing I swear!
And I got her liking guns so that's one less brain dead anti gunner and one new free thinking pro gunner come voting time!
Yeah, but it's so much fun wearing of that "new car smell" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

4595TS UPDATE - Shooting and Mods

Well I finally got to shoot my 4595! Just like many have said before me, what a ton of fun to shoot!! I'll list my mods and then talk about them.

Thingmiester 1911 Mag Mod
I watched the video and did the install. Super easy. One issue I had before shooting was the piece that goes in your handle (sticky back chrome piece) wadded up on me when I put in a mag. That was worrisome to me so I thought of a better way to hold the mag in there. The whole point of that piece is to keep the 1911 mag tight in the well. I used the soft side of velcro (heavy duty) and cut a piece that was the entire width and height of one side of the mag well. Worked great, isn't going anywhere and secure.

Field Sport Red and Green Reflex Sight with 4 Reticles
Lots of bang for a very small amount of buck! Of all the reticle options the one I used was the single dot. It was right on out of the box. No issues at all. So far I reccomend it.

Aukmont Front Iron Sights AR15 Tactical 45 Degree Offset
Some steel sites work for me but I wasn't sure about these. They were pretty close right out of the box. 10 rounds later and few clicks and I was hitting my mark at 25 yards out. I didn't touch the front site, only the back.

HP Mag Holder
I love the mag holders and my 10 round ProMags fit them and the stock perfect. Awesome.

ProMag 10 Round Nickel Mags
These are now my go-to mags. Mind you this was my first time to shoot this brand new gun. I had a couple of FTF the first 20 rounds but they could have been the gun. After that it was super reliable. Score.These also seemed to shoot fine in my Series 70 1911. I'll report back after more range time.

28 Round Korean Drum
One of the cooler purchases for the gun. This did not work for me at all. It would jam after 2 or 3 rounds. Oddly enough it worked great in my Series 70 1911 and even in my Colt Defender...which looked hilarious. I'm going to do some research before I sell it but I would NOT use it in the HP if I actually had to shoot at something.

LongShot 15.4" Full Length Picatinny Top Rail
I didn't want to spend this much on a rail for a $300 gun but I thought it was important for the top rail to be ridged. Plus it looks pretty cool (brushed aluminum). Went on easy and all my gear worked with it.

LongShot Aluminum Bottom Rail (6 inches)
I really didn't want to spring for this BUT I need some more length for my bipod handle and forward grip. This bought me 2 inches.

HP Plastic Side Rails
What a deal! This allowed me to get my LED light on the gun, add a thumb rest for my forward grip and I actually used the included sling mount that came with my forward grip on my side rail(the HP piece was too narrow for my sling hook). Just get them.

LED Light and 1 inch Picatinni Picatinny Offset Flashlight Ring Mount with QD Cam Lock

This mount is cool because it can come off easily. I keep the LED and mount on my desk. Worked great. I also have a link to my LED light. Only $14 and I think it works great. It also fit the mount I linked to. I have two of these light now and will probably grab a third for my truck.

Ledsniper®action Bipod Handle
I thought this might have been too "tacticool" and maybe over the top BUT it was totally useful. I used the handle as much as the forward grip and the bipod actually worked and was one of the reasons it was so fast and easy to sight in the 4595. Lets see how long it lasts.

GVN Tactical Ergonomic Forward Grip VTS PTK Rail-Sling-Attachment
As a kid on a ranch in Texas I had a rifle in my hands most of my life. This grip is what I always wanted way back then. Since I have the handle up front this is more to the back. I can tuck my elbow against my ribs and shoot in that style. I like it. I keep my HP tool in the handle. My red dot batteries should fit in there to and keep the tool from rattling (if they are in a bag).

Conclusion and One More Part to Add
I have to say, the 4595TS was a hit at the range. The range safety officer came over and said he has seen folks shoot these and never have a problem and even bragged on the HiPoint pistols.

When I started laying rounds down range I had people commenting on how quiet it was and it almost sounded like it had a silencer on it. I looked up at one point and 3 guys was looking at my carbine and talking to the range officer. I put up 3 fingers and said "$300!", you should have seen their eyes light up. It was a very positive experience and I REALLY like shooting the gun. The first few shots from the 10 round ProMag through the red dot were making big .45 sized holes on my target and me and my buddies were just grinning. Too much fun and worth every penny and more!!

The one thing missing is my shroud. I have one coming from LongShot. I'll post up shots when I get it on. That should be it. AHH, one more thing, I'm going to get a 3x flip up magnifier for the red dot. I will have spent more on accessories than the damn gun! That's OK though because like the ranger officer said, "You guys look like you're have too much fun!!"
Awesome Stuff, Billy H.E.L.L.!!! LMK if you wanna sell the drum.

Good job and smart move having the back up sights.

I use the old plastic film roll canisters to store my battery in when the red dots not in use.
A buddy of mine has the red dot and the tac lights so he use's a contact lense case after having a battery leak out and ruin his red dot while it was sitting in the gun rack.
Great Tip, 'Bama! :D

I build Telecasters. I also mess around old amps and pedals. Those guitar fronts and backs are from a pair of 1956 Silvertone Guitars. The dark one was my uncle's first guitar. I accidentally met the man (relative) that gave it him in 1956. Back then the guitar was still together. The man said, "I gave your uncle his first guitar." I walked back to my room and brought it out and I said, "This one?" and that guys jaw was on the floor.

Telecasters are my favorite guitars! Used to have one, couldn't do it justice, though! :)

Nice job on the carbine! Also looked at your guitars. Very cool stuff. Here's an old Silvertone I found in a pawn shop in Pensacola back in the early eighties. Had a badly bent neck and someone refinished the neck and fingerboard with varnish. Had to detach the neck and strip the finish. Still looking for a pick guard for her.

P.S. Sorry for going so far off topic.

Pics showing my 995TS progression...

Still looking for the right tach light and possibly a bi-pod (still on the fence for that one).
Is this the stock bottom rail? and what barrel shroud is that?

Now that I look at it, I wonder how far off those bolts are from the mounting holes on a Tippmann A5 stock. Even if it's not a direct fit, I wonder if its close enough to be drilled out. Durability wouldn't be a concern on the quality stocks, I would argue you'll be tougher on a paintball gun then you may ever be on a firearm, unless you happen to be at war. They also offer quite a few styles.. the AR six position stock, a SAW stock, a folder, a G36 style.. many others.





I don't have a TS. Someone should buy a cheapie off ebay for $15 and see how close it is.

Its a good looking stock but does it fold to the side the Charging handle is on and do you have the clearance you need is my only questions.
