UZI build, anyone do one?

[jeremyro]

I am about to do a McKay UZI build and am wondering if anyone has experience with this. I am doing a build on a receiver flat with the weld kit. I need to weld up the receiver and then fit the parts kit. Also anyone make a bullet button for the UZI currently? I can't find one in stock anywhere.

i was under the impression you didnt need a bullet button because the mag is in the pistol grip. or is that just on a pistol build?can someone confirm this?

It has a barrel shroud so it does need one unless you remove it. I am building a pistol, but I thought this forum makes more sense

You can't build a pistol on that receiver. If it was not dros'ed as pistol. You couldn't have done it as an SSE because it's a bare receiver.

The receiver I bought is not a firearms and does not have the trunnion or anything else welded on it. It is not DROSed as anything at the moment.

A bent flat that has the holes in it is considered a complete receiver. Is what you bought the same as the picture and was pre bent?

Nope, I bent it myself. I bought it as a flat.

Then you are good to go to make a pistol and no BB. Did you make a jig for the bends?

McKay also makes a flat too, which adds to the confusion.

I think your nomenclature has confused the question. There are fully bent "receivers" made by Group Industries and Mc Kay available. There are also bent sheet metal pieces available to reweld receiver stubs into a complete receiver. I have populated a bare Group Industries shell and it would be far easier to use the bent replacement section to reweld an Izzy receiver.

Could have avoided a lot of confusion if you had said that in the first place instead of...

Good point, I did not think about all the options when I put up the OP, edited.

So does the handguard not count as a barrel shroud?

[tujungatoes]

I did a re-weld with a center section a while back. Super easy build. I think you're in for a bit more work but should still be simple if you can weld. I made my own mag lock.

As far as I know the jury is still out on the HG being a shroud. It's up to CAL DOJ to make that call and good luck getting a straight answer out of them.

Thanks for the help so far, If you do a re-weld did you replace the trunion with a semi one?

Still rocking the FA trunnion, but using an SA bullet guide.
