I know a guy that has abused his Hi Point to no end and it still is running. he also has one of the carbines. I enjoyed shooting the carbine, but the limited amount of rds turned me off. I would love to have a carbine if they took a larger rd mag--then it would be a true truck gun. Lifetime warranty and they tell you not to take it apart.
Well, limited number of rounds is the standard here in California, so I have no choice there. As far as the carbine, it's illegal here due to the detachable mag and pistol grip making it an "assault rifle." (ABSURD!)
I read over the warranty and it doesn't say anywhere that I can't take it apart. In the "manual," it actually has instructions for disassembly. One of the reasons I decided to go ahead and get the Hi-Point was that the warranty is a lifetime warranty. I don't think they'd cover intentional abuse, but the warranty services I've read about online seem to be close to a no questions asked warranty.
