I will not lie, I had AN issue with it. FTF. Just about every other round. I didn't have much time to spend at the range , because the grand kids were in So I will take it back to the range and try it again. It may have been my fault, or because I just took it out of the box or maybe because I took the dow rod out of the feed tube and didn't set the spring back in place just right. That's why I am willing to give it another try.
Then you got lucky. I hate it when people come up here and start complaining about their brand new guns not working properly, and they haven't even bothered to take it apart and clean it.
I picked up a used 870 slug gun yetsterday. It was perfectly clean when I got it. I spent over an hour tearing it down and cleaning it, even though it didn't need it.
new guns HAVE to be cleaned before use. many have a thick layer of storage/shipping grease inside and out. this has to be removed before the gun will operate properly. this is especiually so on guns from overseas.
Also remind them they should clean them before taking them to the range.
Your hi-point also had packing grease, and metal flakes from manufacturing in it.
These are assembly line pieces, not 1 off gunsmith specials. There isn't a guy cleaning them before packing them.
