I'll say it first - Glock mags?

 

[backbencher]

You're crazy, man. How can you sleep at night knowing that you have a dirty gun in your safe???

You put your HiPoints in a safe?

 

[backbencher]

Just keep em away from the Mosins. My Mosins have pretty much stopped breeding, but the ARs have taken up the challenge. I remain in fear if a Mosin was to sneak out @ night w/ an AR...

.....you'd get a wood furniture AR

Sigh.... that's so beautiful. I have a wooden thumbhole stock for my AR, but it's all blue & green stain. I'd like to do a wooden lower.

 

[backbencher]

Just so you know, you really ought to clean YOUR gun a lot more often than every thousand rounds or so.....

Why?

Be still my beating heart. YUM!

 

[backbencher]

I'm more likely to have a wooden lower.

 

[backbencher]

What are you going to do next? Glue some cutting boards together?

 

[backbencher]

Yeah next time I go into a gun shop I'm gonna point to the first Glock I see and ask " Does it take Glock mags? Cause you know everything else does now."

Pretty much. Even Mossbergs take Glock mags now.

So - Makarov-type double stack, giving 10 rounds, similar in shape to Redball's current 20 round .45 ACP mag. Ambi mag release, doing away w/ drop-safety, replaced by grip safety. Lower accessory rail, optional Picatinny rail on top of slide to mount red dots. New magazine design to accommodate use of existing trigger bow. Replacement of long firing pin w/ a fixed ejector. Expected gradual update of the HiPoint line in other calibers. I miss anything?

 

[backbencher]

Ask your wife.

That's all you've got? Many modern firearms get along fine w/ adding oil, & not cleaning for a few thousand rounds. Not all, but quite a few. Religiously cleaning after firing was born of corrosive powders and primers, both of which are now thankfully rare. Now you only need to clean if it's getting so dirty you're getting malfunctions.

The issue w/ fuel and oil filter suppressors is you need a friendly SOT to swap out the filter - you're not allowed to do it yourself.

 

[backbencher]

Oh, to me, it's impressive that they listened, and I think we'll see some Form 1 cans on these, as well as red dots. Wonder if the 10 round mag will fit the bullpup stock?

 

[backbencher]

Does anyone think theyre gonna offer a 15 rd mag and new stock for the 995 series with that new mag body?

I think the new mag will likely fit in HighTower's bullpup stock. Remember HighTower's been teasing us w/ a double/single coffin mag, repeatedly telling us they've reserved room in the magwell for a future high capacity magazine?

And what is the new high capacity .45 ACP magazine from RedBall? A double/single coffin mag.

And what kind of magazine is HiPoint using in the new pistol? A double/single coffin magazine...

 

[backbencher]

It means they didn't have to re-engineer the trigger bow.

 

[backbencher]

Could it be they're using the new magwell design to maintain backwards compatibility w/ older single-stack mags?

 

[backbencher]

Hey man fuel filters,oil filters, Maglight housings whatever gets it done,right? I mean would you really thread a pricey brand name can on a Hi Point?

I would, but I'm a contrarian. If you have a nice 10mm or .45" can, would be helpful on the new carbine.

 

[backbencher]

I've been wondering that myself.

Looking @ the mockup of the new mag and the ambidextrous mag releases, I'm now thinking not. They just didn't want to redesign the trigger or the interior of the slide. Molds be expensive.
