So I've had this old 995 for nearly 20 years. I stopped shooting it before I moved to MD because the pistol grip split (held now with a zip tie) and both of the plastic magazine bases busted. Before that I shot plenty of paper at 100 yards and it was a hoot. Decent groups and reliable action prior to the busted stuff. I wouldn't drag it though a mud puddle but natural point of aim for an HD weapon is perfect.
Fast forward to now and I'm looking at a Sub 2000 but just can't fit it into the budget. So I pulled out the old 995. The rifling is still very clean and there is no rust. I have a few questions for the gang:
1. I tried calling Hi-Point about a replacement stock. No answer. I know they need the serial number to get the correct model stock. Does anyone know how many different patterns of action there were?
2. The paint on the barrel at the bracket and near the crown is chipped. What are my options for this? Hi temp paint and stay away from the rifling?
3. Are there differences between the old and new mags? I will stay away from the pro-mags since I've heard bad things about them. 10 rounds is fine for plinking as long as they are more reliable than the original 1990's mags.
Appreciate any info.
