Hi-Point ?

[Johnch]

I figured someone could help me
No I don't want to buy a Hi-Point
I just would like someone to weigh a Hi-Point 9mm slide and post the weight

Right now I am working on a bolt action 9mm rifle that takes Glock mags
Still some work to do

But when I am finished with the bolt action rifle

I had the idea to make a simple blow back semi auto 9mm rifle that takes Glock Mags

Knowing the slide weight will give me a starting point making the bolt

I had a Hi-Point carbine
It worked perfectly
But I really disliked the single stack mag and it was clunky to say the least

Thanks
John

How about a bolt from a camp 9?

There was a fellow who created a blowback gun design spreadsheet. Name was Orion's Hammer. I don't think his website is active anymore but you may be able to find his calculator somewhere on the web. He references
George Chinn's 1955 , "The Machine Gun", volume 4, part X

I used to know the weight, mailed enough of them back to people...

HiPoint forum to the rescue! C9 slide is 1 pound 2 1/2 ounces, bolt in the carbine is 1 pound 6 1/2 ounces. Recoil spring makes a diff on this...

The bolt assembly from my Beretta CX4 in 9mm weighs 787 grams.

I also have a Ruger PC in 9mm, but I'm too lazy to bust out the wrenches to disassemble it at the moment...If I work up the motivation later, I'll edit this with the weight.

Nothing wrong with Hi Point. I own several. Use them for hunting and fishing. That blow back design really dissipates the 9mm recoil and makes it a fun round amd fun gun. Plus its accurate. I want their carbine. It breaks my heart to watch their price go up every year. They are like 300+ now.

Thanks
Now I can at least start planning
As I plan on a steel bolt it will take up less room
