Just wondering if anyone else has seen this. Set to release in 2017 sometime.
Haven't heard too much bad regarding the Hipoint Carbine. I think this will be a great upgrade. Makes me want to pick up the hipoint. Could have a 9mm bullpup for around $500.
3D prototype looks rough but the shape looks better than the funky OEM stock. Price point $199-299 is too much on the high end for this budget carbine. Hope it comes in at $199 if they really want to sell them. I wonder what the trigger linkage feels like-some are awful. I also wonder if the polymer will be reinforced to prevent stock torque/flex.
Once all of these unknowns are revealed in the final product, potential customers will be able to make an informed decision.
Mags pretty much just drop free when you press the release, which is at the front of the trigger guard. I'm still getting to to inserting a mag under my armpit. Haven't had much range time with it yet.
Mag capacity is an issue to some. The Red Ball 20 rounders give you more ammo, at the cost of a long mag. Hopefully HTA sells enough stocks to make doublestack mag development a reality.
No tools needed to remove the action from the stock. Just push a latch, pull front rail down, slide the front portion off. Couple of pins come out, and you're done.
Only negative is the small stock magazine capacity. I haven't bought any of the 20 round Red Ball mags yet.
Then again, small mags slows down the ammo consumption, saving a couple bucks! It just too much fun to shoot.
