Getting Acquainted With The Hi-Point

 I've been able to grab a few moments to spend some time with the Hi-Point Carbine.   It is now sighted in, the trigger is smoothing out, and I have successfully taken it apart and put it back together again.

 Hi-Points are inexpensive arms, for those on a tight budget, but I must say that I am impressed with the entire package.   This dandy little tool was included, which is used for assembly and teardown, and for adjusting both the front and rear sights.

 The front sight is adjustable for elevation.  My first shot was low, and I dropped the sight down, which put me pretty close.

 The carbine comes with two rails up front, and one on top of the receiver, which holds the peep sight. The peep sight can be removed so you can mount a scope.

 The rear sight is easy to adjust, and I have been hitting the bullseyes with no problems, other than my 60 year old eyes.

 The operating handle is a neat little thing.  The grip is loose on the operating handle, so if you don't have an empty magazine to lock the action back, you can slide the grip in as you hold it to the rear, and that will hold the bolt back.  Pretty neat, I think!

This carbine even came with sling swivels, a sling, and two adjusters.  I installed them, and the sling really helped as I sighted in.   NOW, I need to get a little scope for this baby to help my old eyes.
