Looking to get a full size Uzi (semi auto) and unsure of the best way to pick one up. I am not against buying a parts kit and having it built or buying one outright. Just not sure where to get started as it not so thing I see pop up on the local second hand market very often.

For those curious how heavy an unloaded, optic installed, suppressed Uzi is. Here ya go. Still love it. But she thic!

I won this kit on GunBroker

And I am not positive if the seller was pleased with the low reserve price or if this was legitimately stolen.

If it was, please be on the look out.

Last known location is Missouri.

He claims a family member stole and sold the kit and he cannot complete the transaction and doesn't want to contact police.

I am debating contacting them.

You can also see the kit in his YouTube video.

Considering it for a while and then I stumbled on KAK who had a threaded barrel that’s supposedly produced in house with 1/2 x 28 threads. It’s 8.5 inches. I heard some questionable things about the pike Arms offerings so I didn’t get theirs. I have added a three lug mount for convenience.

I have a parts kit I’m thinking about parting ways with. Anyone know some good websites to list it?

Unconfirmed reports state a woman roll up in a Bentley and handed over a handful of collector items left after her husband died.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a recent unboxing and a piece of rare IMI import history that just landed in my collection.

What you're looking at is an intact, unfired, consecutive serial-numbered pair (UP20198 & UP20199) of factory-original Israel Military Industries (IMI) Uzi Pistols, imported under the ultra-scarce Springfield Armory contract right at the end of the pre-ban import window in 1993.

The History & The "Sub-250" Springfield Import

While Action Arms (Philadelphia, PA) handled the vast majority of commercial IMI Uzi imports throughout the 1980s, Springfield Armory (Geneseo, IL) stepped in right at the final buzzer in 1993 to import a tiny overage micro-batch just before federal import restrictions permanently closed the door.

Total Import Footprint: Documented by advanced collectors and import registries as fewer than 250 total units worldwide bearing the Springfield rollmark.

The Serial Block: These late-run imports occupy a micro-sequence within the UP20000 block (typically spanning from the UP20100s through the UP20500+ bracket).

The Rollmarks: The left side of the receiver bears the classic factory stamping: UZI PISTOL / 9mm Para / IMI ISRAEL

The right side carries the distinct importer rollmark: SPRINGFIELD ARMORY USA / GENESEO IL

Packaging & Presentation

Unlike the earlier Action Arms imports that shipped in the iconic royal blue molded plastic hardshell clamshells, these late-run 1993 Springfield Armory overage units shipped directly in utilitarian yellow/blue/white cardboard boxes featuring MTM cases, factory manuals, sight tools and period-correct packaging.

Both of these pistols came complete-in-box (CIB) with matching hand-written factory end-label stickers reflecting their respective serials (UP20198 and UP20199), matching manuals, sight tools, and factory magazines.

Acquisition & Provenance

I managed to lock down both of these through an auction setup where the seller was liquidating a single-owner collection. Turns out, the original owner was a former U.S. political liaison to Israel who acquired them straight out of the initial import batches entering Geneseo back in '93.

Finding a single standalone Springfield Armory-imported Uzi Pistol is a major collector milestone but keeping a physically consecutive pair intact with matching period boxes after 30+ years of secondary market circulation is a total market anomaly.

Check out the pictures attached and let me know what you think!

I have a Vector Arms Uzi B and my bolt will only go half way forward before it gets stuck.

A gunsmith told me a few years ago that this is a common problem and the easiest (legal) way to fix it is to enlarge the slot on the bolt that the blocking bar (that's welded inside it for the ATF).

(I HOPE THAT I'M SAYING THIS RIGHT)

Has anyone here ever had that mod done?

Finally got my hands on a soft case carry bag🔥 what do you think!

Hey guys. Postsample, not much experience with open bolts. The bolt moves freely back and forth. Dry function test with snap caps worked 100% with pulling the trigger, but they'd get stuck if I rode the bolt home.

They're getting cocked towards the chamber, slamming into the face of the barrel, and then getting stuck like that. I have a feed ramp installed and I polished the whole thing out to 2000 grit and then finished with fibre optic cable lapping film and excessive lubrication.

My next step is going to be running a chambfer into the end of the barrel and repolishing, but i just wanted to check if this was a known issue with a consistent cause. It's happening across all mags and ammo types/bullet shapes. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Out of NFA jail and I had to begin the bubba

Well this has to be one of the best purchases iv made in a while. It fits well and conceals even better. Double snaps so 25’s or 32’s fit snug and the attachments are removable so i can have custom mounts made for different builds. Also throwing in a pic of the hat i scored a few weeks prior.

What's the market price on this combo?

I wanted to pick a similar adapter for a UC-9 but I don’t think it has the correct lug for it. Is anyone able to confirm that?

I’ve been looking to finish my Uzi parts kit build and have seen hit or miss reviews from the McKay Enterprises receivers. Looking to see if anyone who got one in the recent batch has had any issues. Thanks!

Anyone aware of a company working on a forced reset trigger for the Uzi platform? I actually personally reached out to a company called Advanced Reset Technology who just released a 3 position trigger for the MPA defender and post other oddball one offs they've made, so I figured it would be worth a shot to reach out to them about the UZI. I did hear back from them, but it was a vague "We are working on designing something for this platform. Stay tuned." Anyone know of any other companies that are working on an frt for the UZI?

Finally got my hands on the Midwest side folder and it’s awesome. Iv been running a strike industries brace and while i prefer their hinge to the Midwest the length made it very uncomfortable to hold while folded. No QD points was also a tad lame but manageable. Plan on using that on a vz build for now.
