renegadecow Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Well gents, here's the start of it. Still a rough cut, but already it's fitted nicely. It even stays on when the gun is lifted just from friction. Still looking at how exactly it's to be fixed (pins, screws etc.) Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 That actually looks really damn good. How are you securing it to the UZI? Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Not sure yet, but likely put in an extended pair of screws where the original ones go. It would only hold the lower part so I'd need to fasten the two halves together first. Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I feel just put some screws on the lower part to secure it and you should be fine. Link to post Share on other sites
Kalashnikov_kid Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Nice! May I suggest that you make new pistol grip pannels in an similar style (stippled and slight ergo look) it would compliment the front end well. Regards Dave Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Well it certainly looks different, nobody can deny its gonna be unique I guess. However, the end result will be no more effective to use and it won't look as nice as it did when you started. Still, as an experiment that can be reversed, I say go for it Link to post Share on other sites
Gooberz Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 This looks so much better than I expected it to. Link to post Share on other sites
Arghoslent93 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Nice work renegade. I think the MOE grip actually complements the UZI, specifically the long, rounded holes that act as 'negatives' of the raised grooves on the rear of the receiver. It's actually pretty impressive how well it seems to fit. Do you skirmish that weapon or is it purely a show piece? Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 However, the end result will be no more effective to use Actually it will. it makes it very easy to attach rails for foregrips, lights and lasers. Reckon you should post this over on Uzitalk.com. Still don't like it myself but can appreciate the value of the idea. To fix it on perhaps you could make a block that secures to the barrel by grub screw and holds an M4 Forend Ring in place. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Do you skirmish that weapon or is it purely a show piece? Yes, I do use the Uzi from time to time. Despite the low fps, it's pretty accurate. it makes it very easy to attach rails for foregrips, lights and lasers. M4 Forend Ring in place. Not particular for rails myself, but I suppose a bottom mounted one would be very useful if for at least a torch. Can't put an M4 handguard cap as I'll be cutting off the lip on the handguards that it holds. It's so my suppressor can go through. Already sorted out a way to fix the grips anyway, just freeing up some time to actually implement it, maybe tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
Maki Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 That is one sweet uzi, very sci fi imo. I say go for BUIS Link to post Share on other sites
Rvrstyxx Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 If you could somehow MOE-ify the pistol grip and maybe the trigger guard then I'd say it'd be pretty much perfect, even if you leave the stock..um..stock. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Foxhound Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Why not put the MOE handguard stubby grip on it? I think that would look perfect. No bulky/akward rail needed link Shame they dont sell Uzi's like this. Id love one. Looks great dude! Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Yea I say go for an MVG as well. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Handguard is secured. Made a spacer up front that mates against the barrel nut and pinned at the rear through one of the original grip screw holes. Also repainted it because of a strange white blotchy discoloration which I suspect is mold. Problems with changing the trigger guard and iron sights is that I'll need to make irreversible modifications to the gun. Modifying them isn't a problem for me, but I'd want to be able to change it back later on like if I had spare parts for it. So right now, can't change those two. But I am looking at fabricating new grip panels and pattern them after MOE pistol grips. Also undecided about the stock. I even took a pic of it with my SPAS stock on out of boredom (don't worry, I'm not posting it). The MOE vertical grip does look good. Will try shopping it on later and see if I like it enough to buy. It's either that or an AFG (not really digging it much) or a simple M3 light. edit: I hate this flooring. It makes things look like they're floating when I put the flash on.

renegadecow Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Shopped the MVG on. I'll sleep over it. Link to post Share on other sites
SniperNinja Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 You are awesome. That is the first UZI i have ever liked, and I hate magpul too. You are a miracle worker. Link to post Share on other sites
Maekl Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Is there enough room for a lipo there? Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 That is surprisingly pretty, well done. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Thanks! Is there enough room for a lipo there? The handguards a tight squeeze. Better off finding space in the original battery compartment, but then again, I've heard bad things happening to an Uzi after sticking anything higher than 9.6V (could just be with the usual upgraded spring it comes with). Maybe one of those 7.4V lipos will be tame enough. Link to post Share on other sites
Bane Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Looking good! Why not go for a MP5K PDW-style stock? something folding, yet usable. As for the vert grip, leave it off entirely, you're adding enough grip area to the front why spoil it now with a vertical grip? And if you can mod a MIAD on there.. *Dribble* Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I vote AFG . And whatever stock you choose, don't use something that mounts to an M4 stock tube That'd ruin it :@. Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyApe Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 You could also put the masada blackout flashider and the quick detach silencer. That could look cool Link to post Share on other sites
