    The hand guards are a clear selection, the text describes the inside markings. They would be in "GOOD" condition. The pistol grips are mixed maker in the "Good" SKU. You would have to make a request in the comments section of the order for the inside "X" or "III" marking. Eventually my warehouse...

    Sten optic mount

    I will be interested in seeing if the rear sight comes off. I noted that on the early STEN MKII 's the rear sight is welded on differently than on later production. I believe this is because the stresses of firing broke the welds and the rear sight falls off. It happened on my gun. Repaired it...

    Poulin Auction 2/26 top 4 NFA items all over 100k

    That Hotchkiss Universal has changed hands a few times since it left the long time owners possession. Each time it has jumped up in price significantly. Cool gun with an interesting origin story. Richard

    The escutcheons in the panels are fine. It is the little round lock nuts that screw down onto the ends of the attachment screws that are hard to tighten / loosen. AND THANK YOU for that link to the specialty screw drivers on AMAZON. I just ordered 2 sets for APEX and will by my own set for the...

    OK, even though I arrived home late ( another 12 hour stint at work ) I did wipe off the UZI plastic hand guards. I tried them onto my gun, and I was pleased with how they look and feel. One question, how do you tighten those little lock nuts on the hand guards. I am thinking there must be a...

    Try NAPSTER...I fell asleep on my couch after dinner and didn't touch my UZI grips. This STAR Z-70B kit deal yesterday just wore me out! Richard

    I selected about 3 or 4 sets out of the box of "Good" hand guards, all were pretty nice, the nicest looking set were not both from the same maker, so I picked a matched maker set. Took that set home, gave them a good cleaning, and coated with Marvels Mystery oil. Tonight I will wipe them off...

    The past 2 days I have been handling a lot of the "Good" and "Very Good" UZI hand guard sets. I have learned that there are 2 types of material used and at least 3 different makers that supplied them to the manufacturer of the UZI SMG. The black plastic newer type have a "G" marking inside, and...

    Yes, that same marking inside. Bakelite might be a good description, with brass escutcheons, steel screws. Now I need to find foregrip panels made of that same material. The "G" marked panels are black, but not that same material. Richard

    Looking at the used take-off grip and foregrip panels APEX has on the shelf, I am noting 2 different makers marks on the inside. One is a very squared off "G", the other looks like either an "X" or possibly crossed swords. I have put the "X" marked grip panels on my UZI as they are a really...

    Today I looked thru the tray of the "good" condition UZI factory grip panels. Judging by the casting marks on the inside I would guess there was 2 different makers. Some had metal escutcheons, others had brass. I found myself a nice clean set with the brass escutcheons for my gun, I think what...

    Up until the recent changes at the ATF, when you imported parts every single pin, screw, spring, firing pin, sight post, etc, etc, had to be counted and documented on a form 6. Counted overseas and counted again for the US Customs official. Incorrect numbers could hold up and entire shipment...

    APEX doesn't have an NOS IMI made UZI grips. We do have used / good condition take-off grips, about 2800 sets. These were the ones removed from builds to make 922 compliance by installing US made grips. I am sure that if you ask in the comments section of the order form the people picking the...

    Just bought an Uzi, where to buy a parts kit ?

    I certainly appreciate the business. Certain parts we used to have such a depth of I thought we would never sell out, and then we did! My wife wonders why I have so many spare parts at home, my answer is that I learnt from my customers to get what you need while it is available. Richard

    Forgotten Weapons does the Uzi

    I love the reference to the original series Star Trek! Another question, has anyone approached the ATF with this question this year? A lot has changed, new ATF leadership, new legal counsel, import rules have changed, the DOJ has supported pro 2A cases. From what I am seeing the ATF is trying...

    Forgotten Weapons does the Uzi

    Question, on a registered receiver UZI that still retains the blocking bar, what is the challenge with having a machine shop mill the bar out? I assume it is plug welded into the receiver. Richard
