    Anyone built a Uzi?

    I was debating on building my 1st gun. I was thinking about doing an UZI build with a completed receiver. Any idea how much it would cost?
    Thanks

    If you start with a completed receiver, it's just simple assembly of the parts into the receiver.
    The completed receivers usually come with the blocker bar already welded in so all you need is a set of the semi-auto specific parts and then a standard parts kit for all the common parts.

      Super duper easy, easier than an AK or AR, even for a reweld. I had three rewelds, 9mm, 45, 9mm pistol. They are a one day build. I torched all mine though after the bullet button ban and sold off the parts kits, they sucked donkey balls with a fin grip. Used the money to buy a road bike

        I know a guy who had it done in a few days with a kit from robert RTG delux builders uzi kit. I'd do it if i had the dosh - he was a new welder and it came out okay.

          If it's a complete lower, just buy a gun parts kit, most of the parts will be there.

          You'll be building a carbine rifle:
          16" barrel for a SEMI-AUTO (SMG barrels are a little different)

          SemiAuto bolt ($280+), check on GB or McKay Enterprises

          Top covers don't necessarily fit all receivers, some are ratcheting and some aren't - of which I don't notice the difference.

          The grip fire control should be converted from SMG to SemiAuto or buy a SemiAuto.

          Stock - I prefer the wood vs a pinned/welded folder or the weird polymer one.

          Grips - if you're registering as an AW, then the BB grip (PITA) or BB release (a welded plate with a hole) to release the magazine, or
          Featureless with the Kydex grip which defeats the grip safety and takes getting used to holding.
          I'm not having a glass of wine, I'm having SIX. It's called a tasting and it's classy.

            Is it even still legal to build one of these right now? with all the New "Assault Rifle" laws? I figure you would need to apply for a serial number first. I wanted to build one but into a pistol not a carbine since pistols don't need a bullet button and this specific guns magazine in the grip, if it were outside the grip that would be different story though.

                Can always make it a fixed mag the mag inserts via the pistol grip and if it is an Israeli style the pistol grip is easy to take off (a pin holds it to the receiver), however I don't know if that qualify as breaking open the action.[emoji848] I do believe it cannot be fired though but I could be wrong.

                  Ratchet in top cover needs to be removed per ATF it is part of the Full Auto feature when the gun is in it's original open bolt configuration.

                  easy to convert the grip FCG just weld in a blocking bar which stops the selector from moving to full auto position. I also saw something about reduction in the size of the pin which holds the grip to the receiver.

                    That's an interesting notion.

                    Well, you're separating the action from the receiver so it's technically opening the action. I look at it as similar to the AR15 - lower receiver and upper receiver. Needs some research.

                      If was looking at it in that light, looks like that's all that should need to be done.

                      I thought (but I thought wrong) opening action on an Uzi was taking off the top plate and accessing the magazine that way. But I think that would equate to pulling the BCG out of an AR. Either way magazine access can be had either way you go, pulling the grip would just make things easier I think.

                            I just tried it, and it's do-able, but it is slow and difficult to top load that magazine.

                            FYI, there's no way to fire the bolt when the lower trigger receiver is removed. The barreled upper receiver is nothing more than a big heavy metal stick.
