I see that Nodak Spud is making an UZI receiver with the weld pack installed. Has anyone done an UZI build? |
|
No help but I am definitely interested. I have a 9mm AR that takes unmodified uzi magazines so doing a build would be great. I'd need to make it NY compliant though which I'll have to research a bit more. The folding stock could be permanently welded from the looks of it which would be great as it would keep the look and be legal without having to run one of those ugly wood stocks.
Apex has parts kits but they only seem to have 10" barrels. |
|
The fully welded UZI would be like assembling an AR15 lower. Just install the parts. No special tools required. The barrel nut ratchet pops right in. Front sight assembly screws right on. Top cover latch and spring clips right on. Rear sight screws right in. Rear stock bolts on with a single Allen head bolt. The rest of the parts drop right in. The hardest part would probably be the installation of the sling stud onto the receiver. |

Clear this up for me please........... It is my understanding that the "UZI parts kits" being sold are from demilled full auto guns and have few parts useful for building a semi auto UZI. Is that correct? Or are there sources for semi auto parts kits? This was my first thought when I read the OP. Anyone? |

Nodak Spud is working on semi-bolts. |

you DON'T need to remove the ratcheting system all you need to do is weld a piece of sheet metal in the slot to make it shorter for the semi bolt. This means you still can ratchet the bolt back to show clear and keep it open. You can use the folding stock if it's welded in the poen position, also there was a distributor that had US made semi bolts and hangards, I'll try to find the website later. You can buy a 16 inch barrel right from bushmaster and it counts as a US made part!. |
the smg grip does have the 8mm receiver pin hole... i am not sure what the new receivers are drilled for but if they are 9mm, there is a company out there making little 1mm sleeves that fit in the receiver hole to allow you to use the 8mm pin and lower from the SMG parts kit.
http://www.landsden.com/parts.htm the above people have them but im not sure if they are listed on the site... call them to order. |

I don't believe there is any law that requires this. ATF measures OA length with the stock extended. CLAIRIFICATION Complying with NYS LAW..... I'm stating the folding stock must be permanently pinned or welded in EITHER the OPEN or CLOSED postiton.... Mine was welded in the OPEN position to comply to the NYS evil feature rule as not to be a "folding or telescoping stock"....
Just make sure you use enough US made parts.....

NDS fully welded UZI receivers only need one addition USA part. They will come with an ATF letter stating what parts were 922r compliant. Originally Posted by mike@nds FYI: I received my UZI 922R parts count letter from ATF Tech Branch in Saturday's mail. They state that the UZI has 13 countable parts.

I have a preban 9mm UZI, this will be my 2nd UZI carbine. I've had the 9mm UZI for 17 yrs and I have many spare parts & accessories for it. But, I've only had my UZI .45 caliber conversion kit this summer. I've purchased most of the parts just in the last few months in anticipation for the new US UZI receivers. Prices vary from vendor to vendor. There is such a wide difference in pricing. Some places charging double what other vendors are charging for the same part. Got my stuff from:
I've got all but one last part to build my NDS-1948 as a .45ACP UZI carbine with a fixed wooden stock. I'm at $745 for my .45 UZI build, including the last part I need ($20). Price does not including the various: shipping, taxes, USP PO fees, PayPal, magazines, and UZI accessories. I got a lot of good deals on several of the parts. A .45 build will be more expensive than a 9mm build, but I've been lucky and have been basically getting the .45 parts for 9mm pricing. With .45 ammo costing so much now, a few UZI owners have been unloading their .45 caliber conversion parts for much less compared to what they were going for even just last year. You can get a NEW Vector UZI with the factory 5 year warrant for just a little more than what I have into my UZI build. But half the fun is building/assembling it yourself. Plus I'm building it exactly the way I want with the parts I want to use. I already had ½ the parts on hand, so I decided to assemble one, rather than purchasing another completed UZI. |

Quoted: And would it be cheaper to buy parts than getting a SMG kit and scraping a bunch of it? Depends on where you get your UZI SMG Parts kit from. There are different levels of parts kit quality. Some parts kits are missing one or more components (most are missing the parts you can't use anyways). They are going from $150 - $400 from the different vendors. You can sell the SMG parts you don't use to recoup some of your money back. I went and just purchased the individual parts I needed. I already had the major components for my build. I just needed the small parts for the receiver. |

I don't believe there is any law that requires this. ATF measures OA length with the stock extended. That's some NYS/NYC garbage they have to comply with. If I lived there I would go with a wooden stock. I like the looks of them. |

Quoted: Quoted: I am really thinking that this will be a do-able build for me. Mike, any word on when the bolts will be ready? I don't have a time frame yet, but will post info as I get it from McKay. I'm hoping by the end of this year. Thanks, I will be ordering a receiver soon  |

I built a semi Uzi back during the AWB using parts gathered mostly on Ebay. I sold most of the FA parts to recover some of the cost. Of course I ended up with more semi parts than I needed but am still into my UZI for about $700.
They are pretty easy to build, parts just pretty much just drop in. For those looking to piece one together, they ain't cheap. Parts can however be found at www.dandsales.com |

Quoted: My NDS receiver showed up yesterday. Looks like top notch quality to me. Can't wait for the bolts to become available. Picked mine up from my FFL yesterday, Looks and feels real solid and the welds are first class, just need a few more parts and it can go together. |

I'm having a hell of a time getting the rear sight leaf spring/top cover latch installation. Any tips? perseverance.... So....no tricks or anything? Just keep trying until it finally goes in? I already broke one of the leaf springs trying to get that damned thing in, so I ordered two more just in case. |

I agree –– I prefer the "look" of the folder but the solid stocks (synth or wood) are much more comfortable IMO (esp. on FA).  < Not my SMG, FTR, but I used to own a semi IMI carbine w/ the folder back in the '80s. > |
