I have put this "barrel" together from the two original pics to show the full length of the barrel.
Hi-Point Firearms
How many rounds of 45 can you fit in the barrel of a 4595TS?
Well this guy managed to squeeze 35 rounds in there.
When he called stating he was having accuracy issues he had no idea the rounds had not left the barrel.
After receiving his carbine in we discovered the issue, rebareled his 4595TS and sent it back to him.
Hows that for customer service?

A friend did the same thing with a 6" Colt Target revolver. It, too, had bad accuracy. Clean targets.
I took the barrel off and had to machine the bullets out, reinstall the barrel and it was good to go.

How do you lodge 35 bullets in a barrel without blowing it apart?
How do you fire it more than twice without realizing there is no muzzle blast?
If I was new to this forum and didn't know the honesty of the individuals here I might be calling "fake". I am not new and I do know and trust you guys - this is just crazy!

I guess the low pressure of the load and the strength of the barrel/action??? surely a dumb thing to squeaze trigger again after a dodgy shot without checking a few things...

I am dumbfounded and amazed.

In the Infantry Small Arms Museum in Singleton Australia, there is a sectioned Thompson Sub Machine Gun barrel with about 12 x .45 caliber projectiles each jammed up the preceding one’s butt. In this case, the barrel was bulged, but not fractured, and that is with full power military ammo.
Maybe this guy was using lower powered ammo for target shooting, or at least not full power ammo.

I didn’t need Photoshop mate...it was just two pics of the barrel that I was able to carefully manipulate with Microsoft Paint into one pic then resize to an acceptable size. But, thanks mate.
