I heard otherwise. ATI wont work on the .40 carbine. Try researching on the hipointfirearmsforum.com . The ATI stock looks 100% better , but its 200% heavier too.

It's true, the ATI stock only fits on the 9mm. HiPoint has been working on and showing pics of a new stock, which looks better than the "Planet of the Apes" stock they currently use. I put my 995 into an ATI stock and upgraded the charging handle and trigger, added a barrel shroud and a full length top rail. This photo was before the new trigger and top rail with red dot. It's very much like a cheap beater car that you either put in a booming stereo system, or the cheap ricer that you soop up and add alot of aftermarket parts. Either way, it's an accurate, fun, and cheap carbine to tool around with.

Just to add my 2 cents... A few weeks ago a friend and I went to the range and put about 200 rounds through the 9mm carbine. Easy shooting and no jams. Very ugly but for $200 you just can't complain. The only negative I know about them is they are not the most easy rifle to field strip and clean.

I have the 995 with the ATI stock and absolutely love it. Bolted a cheap Red Dot on it and can shoot ragged holes at 50 yards all day long. Saw one at Chantilly that had an AR type stock on it that looked cool as all get out but was on the way out the door and didn't have time to look at it.
Furthermore, their Customer Service is exceptional. I had a problem with mine stove-piping and tore it apart and diagnosed it as a weak extractor spring. Called em up and told em I could do the repairs myself and they shipped a new spring as well as extractors and pin in that day's mail. I also bent the firing pin....called em up...new one in 3 days. There are stories that if you can't do the repairs yourself, send it to them, they will fix it quickly and send it back with a couple new magazines for your trouble.
They are a little strange to get used to when cleaning, but do it a few times and it gets pretty easy. Pretty simple actually. I also use grease instead of oil on alot of the metal to metal parts and it seems to work better. Plan on getting some Militec-1 and trying that to see that works better than the grease.
Buy one, have fun....

I called On Target this morning and they are sold out of the 9mm carbines.

I might have to look into one of these. Though I've been wanting an SKS, it appears I'm not sacrificing more than looks (don't really care) and skull cracking ability (kinda care) with the HiPoint.

Do they make hi cap magazines for these?

There is a new stock that should be available soon and IMO it looks very cool. Better than the Beretta look-a-like.

There are aftermarket 15 round magazines, from what I have read they have mixed reviews.

I'd get the SKS first. It's by far a better quality firearm and they are getting more and more expensive.

Like I said, that was the idea, I just can't find anyone interested in selling at a fair price.
Why, are you interested in selling one of yours?

No but I do have a line on a guy selling a new Yugo for 300$ if you are interested.

$300 for a ~$200 rifle? Ick.

200$ maybe a year ago. I know how you feel but honestly right now it's a fantastic deal. Besides they are never going to get any cheaper. At Timonium I saw two different guys selling junked Yugos for like 600$!
I have to disagree with you here. I believe that once people stop freaking out and buying every semi-auto rifle they can find, prices will come down. $300 Yugos aren't as silly as $1k AK's, but it's still expensive. I think this bubble will burst. Of course as long as Mastercard will extend somebody's credit line, it may not burst for a long time.

Ar's and Ak's for sure will come back to reality if no new legislation comes down the pipe. Sks' I believe are just starting to settle in to where they belong. Somewhere in the 300-500$ range depending on origin and condition. I could be wrong, it's just my opinion.
Their so ugly, they should only be used at night, or where others can't see...
I guess that's why they're a black rifle
but is dependable as heck, keeps shooting anything fed to it
