Firearms XVII - Stuffing A $100 Hi-Point Down the Front of My Jorts Edition

No problems? Make sure you leave a nice word for retrorifles on reddit or something, they are a small outfit and benefit from that exposure.
I plan to finish putting it on (still need to align the barrel nut teeth and put in the gas tube) and then take it to the range. I'll report on the interwebs after I've shot it.

What the hell is this drill? Some Brazilian secret training routine?
@Revenge282 Nothing loaded on your post for me.
Like...I get the idea behind it (shooting targets while civilians panic) but I feel like this could easily be done with another target on a piece of string going down the firing line...
Lots of countries do publicity stunts like this. It looks cool to the general public and gives them more faith in their military/special forces/police. I can almost guarantee that they don't do it as a regular training technique because it's just silly

Got the Haskell. It's actually surprisingly... nice. It has a very nice trigger - no slack or mush, just a clean crisp break. It's well put together especially considering what it is and all things considered I really have no regrets about this purchase. No idea if it shoots yet but I don't see any reason it shouldn't.
The steel frame improves its balance compared to the Hi Point but it still isn't great in that regard. Really a pretty heavy gun.
@Grenadiac Those first images are a match made in hell. I approve.
Does it use current production Hi-point mags?
A hefty chonker.
I don't have any on hand to try. It definitely feeds from unmodified 1911 magazines though.
Honestly, it looks better than the new ones.
I mean yeah aside from being huge and finished with paint instead of any kind of real finish, it's well made. I like it, truly.
It's like the 1911's long lost retarded cousin that's 5 times removed. At least it appears to use a common mag that you can easily get. Just can't have those big base plates.
You going to trick it out for open use?

Don't talk to me or my (non-califucked) replicas ever again
Man I want a Tommybuilt UMP...
Anyone know anything about low powder volume reloading? I'm putting together some .303 British reloads for the Anzac shoot at my club tomorrow and the only powder I have on hand is AP100 (IMR SR 4756) and AR2209 (IMR 4350). AR2209 seems to be too slow burning (like only 60% burnt at the muzzle lol), but in QuickLoad it seems I can use AP100 (a slow pistol powder) and only hit about 75% of max pressure while making the 320 power factor I need. However, this load only takes up 60% of the case volume and I've heard (but don't know for sure) that very low powder volume loads are dangerous.
Does anyone know anything about that?
Low volume loads are dangerous in that you may not get consistent powder ignition, leading to things such as squib loads or hang fires. Think of it like a bottle full of sand, if the bottle is full then the sand will always have some touching the base regardless of what way it's oriented. If the bottle is only half full then there are ways you can turn the bottle where sand no longer touches the base.
If you need to fill case volume I'd normally say switch powders, but if you're limited to what you've got it's safe to stay with your rifle powder.
If you can get into my ammo safe without damaging it I have some rifle powder in there... I can't remember what type but I used it for low power 7.62x54r loads.
You might need to use fillers. The proper use of fillers
I would err on the side of caution though, as this is not an exact science. I would get cheap single shot rifle to test your loads in before going to an Enfield.
That's actually pretty cool man, I dig the RPG. In another case of my state being fucking retarded, replica firearms are actually illegal in NY state unless owned by law enforcement or production companies. I can go out and purchase a functioning Remington 870 at 18 or an airsoft 870 but god forbid I want a replica 870 for some reason. The laws in this state can go fuck themselves #whyimmovingtoNH
You can actually make a compressed load that will have lower pressures than an uncompressed load, not something I'd attempt as a beginner though.
I wouldn't go for slower powders with reduced volume loads, that's how you end up with a grenade, akin to leaving an air gap in a black powder muzzle loader charge.
Welp, I no longer work at DKMAGS, so I wont be able to provide insider info anymore. But I can post more pictures of that MP44
