CatgutViolin Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I already put in a pre-order, so I'll be happy to talk about it when it comes in. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Same. Personally would rather Hebrew markings and NE said they will, but I can't wait. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NE does so many variations on their limited Smgs, that I am holding back a bit for wood stocked 16" barrel police carbine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Someone on FB asked about a 16" version and NE said they aren't planning to. Can I ask what police used a 16" Uzi? I was under the impression that 16" barrels solely existed to meet US NFA requirements for civilian owners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandstorm Posted April 29 Author Report Share Posted April 29 They denied that they were working on the Uzi ever since someone noticed one in the back of early Sten work in progress photos, so it's not like they couldn't say one, and then roll out something else couple of years later. As for police use of 16" barrel carbines, that's something that I am not too certain about either. Police in Europe did use semi-only versions of SMGs as supplement to sidearms, but don't know if they had same with Uzis... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Highly unlikely they'll do the 16". not enough interest. Also not just a longer barrel, theres the matter of converting the mech to closed bolt. As for Police use of em, highly unlikely, pretty sure they where basically for US Civilian use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Police in Europe did use semi-only versions of SMGs as supplement to sidearms, but don't know if they had same with Uzis... I've seen semi-only conversions for police use, but the usual method for that was to simply weld or rivet a blocker into the selector track so that the gun cannot be switched to full auto. That's a cheap and easy conversion for open-bolt full-auto guns if all you are worried about is functionally locking out automatic fire. The US BATFE, however, considers any open bolt gun a machine gun regardless of its fire control, and barrel length under 16" makes even a closed-bolt gun a Title II short-barreled rifle (SBR), so Uzis imported into the US for commercial sale have a substantially different closed-bolt system (that cannot accept FA bolts) and 16" barrels. Government customers, like the Secret Service, just bought standard off-the-shelf full-auto 10" Uzis. I'm not aware of any government, police, or military forces ever using either closed-bolt or 16"-barrel Uzis. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
