That’s fine for the average consumer but I was going to be drag racing on steel and did not want that movement, so I took out the springs and threw them in the trash. The buttplate rides on three rods which slide into spring loaded pockets on the stock. I grabbed a Taccom 3G 9mm compensator that was in the old parts box and installed it on the barrel to tame some of the recoil.Ī unique feature of the Hi Point carbines is a spring loaded stock. The factory barrel is threaded ½-28 so you can attach a suppressor or muzzle device. I had an extra Holosun 407CO lying around which would be a good fit for Steel Challenge due to the large, bright 8 moa donut reticle. I quickly removed all of these as I was going to be using a red dot sight and not attaching anything to the forend. A front sight is clamped onto the end of the barrel. The forend also has rails at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions. The top rail covers the rear ¾ of the top and comes with a rear sight screwed on. It comes covered in rails, but not the expected 1913 spec Picatinny rails they are Weaver rails, and they are made of a softish plastic. In short, the YCXL carbine is a Hi Point pistol with a fixed 16.5-inch barrel and no grip dropped into a plastic chassis. As you can see the rifle is basically a Hi-Point pistol with a 16.5 inch barrel. The Hi-Point broken down to its main components. It was clear that every part and the overall design were done with one thing in mind – keeping manufacturing costs down and making it as cheaply as possible. As I tore it down I was surprised at the design. I immediately pulled the gun apart to see how it works and to see what, if anything, could be easily improved. Perfect! I was also amused by the challenge of competing against great shooters with high-end custom PCCs while I was using the lowest-priced PCC around. I found a Hi Point YCXL at a local dealer for $360. But I was being a cheap bastard and thought that’s way too much. Ruger makes the PC9, a very nice PCC starting at about $600. That eliminated all the AR-based PCCs and there was not much left to choose from. I did not want to spend a lot on a PCC for what might be only two matches.

Yes, a digital device will have the ability to make a stroke look and layer like watercolour or give the texture of drawing with charcoal. Studies suggest the use of digital tools in art education increases artistic development and creativityĭigital art requires no less skill than traditional art making, but it does require a different mode of thinking.
