    AP5 (MP5 clone) action seems clunky

    I totally field stripped mine. Cleaned and scrubbed it all down with electrical contact cleaner and wet patches. Got that factory preservative all cleaned out. Then flushed it with REM-oil then cycled it manually about 200 times while watching tv. Then wiped it down good, flushed it out again...

    Source for NOS IMI SMG UZI Grips

    Looking at the packaging labels they were from August 1965. My spare set is in the same type packaging.

    Source for NOS IMI SMG UZI Grips

    Try Sarco, Numrich or RTG. I manage to get a full set of left and right handguard and grip plate set all sealed new in the factory bags with IMI shipping labels from 1962 to West Germany.

    New to me 392

    Very nice!! I’ve had mine I got NIB in 1989, the sights have long been dead as well. You can still get meprolight replacement sight sets. You can find the slings on eBay. 24hr tactical used to have a website but is only eBay these days. FYI, General gee whiz stuff. The new IWI Galil produced...

    What’s the rarest original UZI variant you’ve seen in person?

    I was fortunate like Rover Dave to see all of the Uzi’s and prototypes in person at the old IDF museum a few years ago in Tel Aviv before they closed the museum. His book is fantastic.

    Galil 329 help-gifted with no history

    In that configuration it was called the “Hadar”. It’s not a ARM, it’s a AR, the front gas block cannot take the bipod. Looks like someone drilled the receiver and mounted a scope mount. From what I remember, Yours was probably the last batch after Action Arms the importer folded up in the 1989...

    FN FNC Bolt

    Just curious as I do have a semi-auto para since 1989. Were the broken bolts in select fire/converted weapons or semi-autos? Any breakdown of the failures, or ammunition being used at the time?

    Model A Magazine

    Paint over the parkerizing. May have star acceptance mark and/or IWI stamped on it.

    I throated an UZI barrel in the most BS way possible and it works great.

    You gotta remember, the Uzi was primarily designed to fire FMJ ball rounds. Like the Sig sauer p6 or p226 pistols. Later they changed the feed ramps to feed flat nose or defensive type ammunition.

    Serial number prefix question

    Back in the 80’s, I had a friend who was an FFL in South Florida dealing in class 3 stuff, like it was a Miami Vice episode. He was looking at my FN FNC 18” para and mentioned the Howco FNC’s had a short flash hider came in for a New Jersey LE agency and the deal didn’t go through. The short...

    Yes, that was the one that started all this. Only prohibited foreign made “non sporting purpose” rifles. Courtesy of Bush Senior.

    Pindad at SHOT Show 2024 (Indonesian FNC imports??)

    Actually if the next president unsigned the 1989 AWB, we would be back in business.

    Value of NOS firing pins

    I picked up a few of the SS ones from FP.com at his shop. Chris is a super nice guy, a real machinist with a real nice machine shop.

    Galil Buffers

    The one that goes into the rear receiver is for the South African R5/5/6 series. IMI never used one on the Galil series, you can use the SA one. IWI ACE series rifles use buffers from the factory but they are the ones that insert over the recoil spring like the blackjack or buffer technologies...

    Galils Israeli War

    The terminal velocity and impact energy is also a function of barrel length was also a reason for the change.

    Galils Israeli War

    That’s probably why if you look at the latest orders of the IDF x95 model put into service has a 15”-16” barrel, modified US SBR picantinny handguard, and the full length SBR picantinny top rail, and pistol grip, not the “AUG” type.

    New Uzi

    The IDF Uzi slings, I have 2 of those with the pad seem kind of short in length to me, even when fully extended.

    The FNC on 9hole, again to low quality, to cheap

    It also has a brass deflector “upside down L”welded to the receiver just behind the ejection port.
