You might have some wood in the lock mortise that is interfering with the way the lock works. Take the lock out of the gun and look closely at the wood in the lock mortise and look for shiney spots where the lock is rubbing on the wood. Sand or scrape that shiney spot away and try the lock again. Thanks for the video.

Hard to clean? Not really. Hard to disassemble? Yes, they are. Besides, whos "cleaning" them? Unless you drop it in a sandpit or a swamp they never really need cleaning beyond an external wipe-down and a few drops of oil dripped into the open chamber and then work the action back and forth a few times. There is no real need to disassemble it.

Highpoint just came out with the 995 retro which looks like yours but with a threaded barrel.

Most reproduction flintlocks suck because the geometry is off. The only fix is a replacement lock if it will fit. If the touch hole and the pan dont line up then you might as well go to a semi custom kit. As for that TC 56 smooth bore. Its a poor club and not much more. Too heavy to use as a shotgun.

👍 archery is the way to go in a shtf in my opinion. Unless you are planning on fighting people but then you are losing already. I can take my recurve with me and in 10 years still be taking down deer. A firearm how many rounds can you take it will run out. And most importantly the sound in a SHTF with desperate starving people I really don’t want to be giving away my location or tipping people off that I may have just got food.

I bought a couple just incase of a shtf situation. I have extra to pass out to my neighborhood. We can keep wach out. I garentee cell phones will fail one of theses days

Yeah crossbows just have the fear factor over a bow. But if SHTF with crossbow you need a secondary to have with it eg knifes. Otherwise yeah sitting duck.

Help me get rid of vox

Keep going my friend

Misquoting net at academy 12$ 8-8

Hi point made the ONLY 380acp rifle ever. It barely get any recognition. The only low point to a HI point is the price.

I own 3 of the 995ts.......

Just bought one mine has the fr85 or rf85 treatment paid $629 +tax I like it. Anderson's been around for a looooong time and make parts for quite a few other ar types. I wont be adding anything, lites, lasers, handles, a 100% stock home defense weapon, close up. So far I like it 👌

Just bought one myself

A 45 caliber Air Force Texan uses a .457 diameter round ball. You can also use the same round balls in a 44 caliber black powder revolver…

I have the original 995 as well, I love it. It is my go to gun for home defense even though I own an SKS and a AR15

People give HP so much grief , and everyone is entitled to there options... But I just can't see the problem with the 995 or 995T.. I've never owned a 995 but I do own a 995T and I love it .. And I own a HP 9mm pistol , and it's just as good as my rifle.

The old timers would slowly dribble molten lead in a contaner of water to make bird, and small game shot.

I know this vid is 3 years old but I believe I can weigh in on the topic. Having been on the country homestead now going on 3 years, I can tell you that redundancy (backups) to all critical systems is a must. Ie .. I can heat my cabin using 4 different methods. Hawken style muzzleloaders are protected under the "antique firearms" law. That means when the feds come to collect all those nice little AR style rifles, which most of you will hand over willingly, you better have something else to get you by. Furthermore, I can feasibly see our commie in chief going after all cartridge style firearms in lieu of recent events (Canada is already trying). If it happens, you had better have some that are off the books .... or something that was never on the books to begin with. Something off the books which has a specific law protecting it from ATF authority is even better ... like the traditional muzzleloaders and replicas. Furthermore, a backup to that should also be in your bag of tricks ... a good recurve bow for example. Practice with it now before you need to use it.

Thank you ❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

For those with gunsmithing skill or the $$$ to hire one, a modern version of the Neeedle Rifle would be ideal. If my eyes had not failed me ending my career as a machinist I would have chosen a modified Chassepot designfiring a load consisting of two or three pelletized powder grains held together with a nitrocellulose based glue and to hold the bullet. Such a glue would also make the cartridge stiffer and water proof

I work at a gun shop. Just picked this up a couple days ago for 350 out the door. My price of course. Its a great rifle for beginners, or for a build. Timney trigger drop in, replace handguards with magpul or odin works so you can mount accessories and its a great starter. Save up a few bucks and replace the BCG, and roll with. As a vet of iraq and afghanistan using a M4, i can say Anderson is really good for the price 👍

Thank you for some direction. I found an old NEF 20 gauge in my garage that my son in law stored there. It was his as a kid. Old and rusty. I’m hoping to get it back to him as a Christmas present for my granddaughter.

I just bought a pair of these from Goodwill for four dollars. The batteries are still working in them but I don't have any instructions. 😢. Care to share those instructions?

That gun with that barrel would make a good squirrel and rabbit gun.

I've heard old wasps nests work good over the powder and the shot.

Can use steel shot on that gun ?

They taste really bacon y

How do you turn VOX OFF?!

Correct they're trying to take the rest of our guns away. There's no FFL paperwork on a muzzle loader to the democrats. You can't hurt anybody with. One.🤷‍♂️🤦

Crossbows are great in stopping a home invasion silent & deadly ask any animal, Anji Rhys, 49, grabbed her weapon, nicknamed 'Manstopper', when the four intruders broke in to her home in Dunstable, Bedfordshire 2018

I am a retired police officer and just bought one exactly like this and have now mated it with my STAR BM. Turns into a great combination for me. It had the rear sight removed and an optical sight in its place. I called Hi-Point and told them what I needed. They sent a complete new rear sight, a sling, sling swivels and wrench at no charge to me at all. I would not feel under gunned at all to use my Hi-Point and STAR BM for law enforcement or security work. After mounting the new items on my Hi-Point I took it out to a drainage ditch and test- fired it. It failed to feed once but after clearing it, the gun functioned flawlessly from then on.

Within the first few seconds honestly I subscribed and said "this guy gets it!!"

I've liked them all along and still don't have one. Always seem to be out of stock or back ordered. Only time I've seen one in person was when I was picking up something else.

Hello sir...any updates on the long term performance of your AM-15 since you posted this?

Why can’t u use the 50 cal rifles to shoot the birdshot?

My 1983 mossberg safety won’t slide ? I lubed it , then took out trigger assembly can’t get the lip to move?

What are the rifles in this video, makes and models would be appreciated

I just bought one because it's such an eccentric little rifle. It feels good in the hands, and it's reliable enough, and it's much less expensive than the MX4 it was sitting right next to on the rack. With me living in Washington as well, where you can't buy large magazines, the 10 round hi point mags are easy to get. Overall a good choice if you're into the weird stuff:)

REB

Great guns thank you hipont

Hey love your style bro,I got a 12ga pardner and need to know how to get the eject springs in and sizes,it's a single barrel,after I shoot barrel comes open and she'll won't eject, help!!!!!!!!

I had one of the old ones really enjoyed it wish I would have got rid of it I do have the newer version to TS I will grab the older one again if I find one at a pawn shop or something

The columbine jokes are old, people

Cant you replace the trigger to fix this issue? I believe that is possible because the part that holds the connector down in place is attached to the rear end of the trigger.

Good to see someone actually use there go bag and practice with it in the woods awesome vids

I really enjoyed the vids any new content coming

How about a .44 caliber revolver style rifle?
