I have fired over 1500 rounds and not cleaned the 995 Still shoots great.

Rock on! Sort of like a Ak47 huh. They just keep going like that pink rabbit. They're tough.

 

It would be okay to clean and lube the bore, and chamber. Lubing the bore could help the life of the barrel. Every once in a while check the firing pin channel.

 

You should see how many you can put through before your first malfunction. That would be an interesting experiment.

 

It would be a lot of oiled cleaning patches you would have to run through that Hi-Point carbine barrel before you were not getting black carbon on the cleaning patches anymore. That firearm is full of carbon.

I have only shot a few hundred rounds through a firearm at most before cleaning all of them. Treat your investments with respect.

 

I am probably a bit shy of where he is for round count.
I am at 11 or 1200 with no issues, I was trying to see where Hi-Point says to clean it as I think it was 1500 rounds.
I tend to follow the manufacturers recommendations as their engineers design and test them.
One of my friends takes his apart and cleans them for no reason....I dont have enough time for that!

 

I clean mine after every trip, myself. I just hate to put away dirty guns. My guess about why Hi Point recommends a large cleaning interval is because of the risk of little parts, like sears and trigger bar connectors either falling out or becoming misaligned. For the pistols, there is also the possibility of the hole accommodating the role pin getting wallowed out from too much removal and insertion of the pin.

That's the best guess I have, at least. Cic or Swagz would probably have some sort of insider information about it.

 

I haven't cleaned mine either....
Probably around 1400 or 1500 rounds. I have not been shooting in awhile...
When I take my 995 I burn through too much ammo.
Trying to conserve since I can't easily get it.

 

Carbine....

 

All carbines are rifles, but not all rifles are carbines...

 

Clean? we're supposed to clean these things? What?!?!

 

How many magazines do you have?

 

He SHOOTS, He SCORES!!!

(answer is cuz they are dumb lib-turds and don't know the diff between anything firearm related) Shoulder Thing that GOES UP, "disposable clipazines", Doomberg ad where the complete cartridge is coming out of the barrel

 

That's OPSEC...

Oh, you're not axing me LOL

PS: I have so many AR15 mags I am selling 12 standard capacity.
