Non-Restricted Hi-Point 995-TS...Who said it couldn't be done...

[Colin]

Plus in a short bit it will not be registered...

A non restricted version with a 10rd+ mag would make this gun a excellent little truck gun.

I see nothing wrong with people inquiring as to cost. The OP has already mentioned the rifle cost $250 and the barrel blank $100. Its reasonable to ask what the total expenditure might be before someone ventures forth to do. I don't doubt the OP received discount from his gunsmith. That's the way business works. I do repeat business all the time with companies that acknowledge my continued business.

As for quoting Oscar Wilde... well Facta Non Verba!

Neat project Stormtrooper.

I took on the much less involved process of having a 9mm Storm converted to non restricted. I think it's great. Nice to see the cool projects.

Hey guys, it's a bit rude asking someone the price. He obviously has a very good relationship with the person doing his conversions. The price he gets is unlikely to be the price you'll get. He'd be putting that company in an awkward situation which would of course come back negatively on him. Plus ultimately I know it's nice to have that information but it's really none of our business. If I bought a car and get something special with a smoking deal I'm not telling you guys what I paid. Anyone who asks would be told it was a lot.

The price will be steeper than a lot of others. Look at the cost of buying a Tavor already non restricted versus the FS2000 and then having to get it converted to non restricted. If you're looking for the price leader then yup the JR or other comparables would be the way to go. The Storm isn't that economical to get rebarreled either. But it's sure worth it to me.

Oscar Wilde quote for you guys/gals.

What he said... Ian's pricing is very reasonable for the amount of work he had to do in order to get this job done. From removal to fitting to machining the barrel to bead blasting to parkerizing or blueing... it's a lot of work.... Ask yourself what ten to twelve hours hours of your time would be worth. All that said, put aside between 400-500 scoots, and you should be able get the job done by any competent smith.

Great work.

Now what you need to do is send all your pictures and diagrams to High-Point, and tell them to make them like that from the factory.

It would be extremely cool if they made a non-restricted version, and named it after you.

They could call it the "Canadian Stormtrooper Carbine"

 

[Dexter Morgan]

Does the High-Point carbine use the same magazines as the pistols use?

In other words; Are 10 round mags legal with this rifle?

Apparently, no and no.
The pistol magazines don't fit as is, and altering one to fit would be manufacturing a prohibited device.

Some more options.

Some more options.

Wow, makes one of the least expensive guns I've owned, look like one of the most expensive I've seen. The Hi-Point TP9(95).
I liked my Hi-point, it just wasn't something that held my attention long. Non-restricted would have been neat, and probably made me reconsider selling, but being as we're talking about $1k here, there's a lot of nicer NR guns to be had for that $$$, including the SU-16 which should be showing up any day.

But altering the rifle....

 

[Deckard]

Alter or cut off and replace the grip.

 

[m3conversion]

Looks awesome. I'm extremely jealous.

 

[canuckchap]

can you not just weld a barrel extension on?? I've seen a ruger PC4 that seemed to have a barrell extension tacked on. The bore was not the 9mm bore, but oversized.
Essentially, you end up with an 18.6" barrell with a massively deep recessed crown. Would this pass the non-restricted test??

Not looking to get flamed here...an honest question

no, that worked years ago, and M1 carbines pop up from time to time with welded extensions, but the RCMP changed the rules and it no longer is accepted.

I had a flash hider welded onto my first CAR-15 to make it non restricted... then it just became restricted by name alone... grrr it was fun while it lasted. The rules have changed, and it has to be one piece of metal - not welded... you can still have it bored open into the shape and function of a non rifled muzzle brake if you wanted...but alas, no welded on extensions...
