Spare parts for Mini Uzi, what to buy?

[Ben]

I am going to be receiving my Mini Semi Auto soon and i would like to go ahead and buy the basic spare parts that might be needed to keep it running smooth.

My question to you is what spare parts would you recommend I buy? i am really not interested in cosmetic parts, rather I am interested in parts that keep the weapon functioning.

Thanks for the info!

You might want to get a topcover from Vector while you still can. All the other parts you will still be able to find. This from the mouth of peabody (REX). Somebody who knows more will surely caveat this statement.

+1!!

The quantity of Mini topcovers that Vector has is the determining factor on how many full size receivers they are willing to chop down to make Mini's.

This is the one part they are not going to replicate since the cost for the stamping dies would be too huge to justify making them.

I guess another alternative would be to cut down a full size topcover to make a Mini. I've had two that I got at Knob Creek years ago. They were done actually pretty well. I was told that IMI cut down full size topcovers when prototyping the Mini. I have no idea where mine originally came from.

The other part to consider are Mini stocks.
Vector is reproducing the entire thing except for the buttplates which are coming off of full size UZI's.
They copied the old bracket design however. I spoke to Rex about this at the Fall 07 Creek. He was not aware of the difference. I don't know if they will change the bracket to the latest design in the future.

Maybe I should call Vector? My supplier has some mini stripped topcovers. I think he has a few hundred.

Which one do you buy, the ratcheting one or the non-ratcheting one?

Thank you for your help.

Ratcheting for FA non-ratcheting for CLOSED bolt FA or semi.
You can also use a ratcheting and just remove the ratcheting pawl and it will be non-ratcheting.

Over the past few years and literally 10k rounds plus thru my pre-sample mini uzi. Only thing that needed to be replaced was the sear, sear spring and just recently, the extractor.

Based on amphibians suggestion, I also picked up an extra top cover from Vector.

Another example of why I've never been a fan of a register sear UZI.

I was thinking the same thing Rover Dave when I replaced that sear. What do guys do with a registered sear once it wears out?

Not me. I shoot my Fleming Mini sear gun every chance I get. People that know me, know it's true. I love that Mini and have many thousands of rounds through it. I'm not worried. EVERYTHING can be fixed. Just gotta have faith in your machinist.
