Definitely replace the buffer. Replace the internals? When I bought mine, everyone here said replace the internals. Mine was NIB. I called someone, it might have been Wheatley -- I forget -- and asked what parts I should replace. He said go shoot the thing and when something breaks, replace it...

I bought my sten converted M11/9 form Craig Wheatley back in the AWB days. Zytel mags were hard to come by back then, and nobody believed the AWB would expire. Sten mags were cheap. I bought a big pile of them. You need a loader for them. But they work perfectly fine. The gun very rarely jams. I...

I've shot that British L1A1 +p+ in my uzi. No problems. Did it seem different than ordinary 9mm? Not really. Maybe a little faster ROF. The story was that it was manufactured to shoot thought Sterlings in Arctic conditions. I've still got a case of somewhere. Boxer primed brass case. Nice...

28 days. Geez. I posted this some years ago The story of my first NFA purchase ... It was early July of 2002. I'd just completed a difficult year-long job. It was behind me and I was done. I decided to treat myself to a NIB full size Vector uzi. A guy that I found on this web site was doing a...

Frankly, I'd just toss them if Atlantic won't take them back. Buy some from someone else. I doubt its the mags -- more likely your gun. To put it in perspective, I bought my uzi 24 years ago. Mags were $35 apiece. That's like $65 in today's money. They've gone up in price a bit since the flood...

I get 100% reliability from any ball type ammo I shoot in my Vector, including 45 acp.

The simple solution here is don't buy FP/HP/etc. ammo.

Meh .... I like the wood

One of my biggest pet peeve as well. Also, not knowing the word data is plural. Maybe try loading the mag with 30 rounds instead of 32. I prefer the 25-rd mags.

Got to the range and realized I'd brought a bag of sten mags instead of the bag of uzi mags.

When i bought my vector uzi i was paying $80 a case for wolf steel cased ammo

John is probably booked up for the next 3 years, and Sam is a dick.

The good news is -- almost any 9mm ammo runs just fine in an uzi. Get whatever is cheapest. Just make sure its not aluminum cased and it has a ball bullet. Not hollow point or flat faced. Congrats on the gun -- I love mine even after 25 years.

I never understood the 41AE conversion. Its such an obscure round. I've never seen it for sale. Does it explode on contact? Shoot a laser beam out the end of the round? What's the appeal?

I never understood why anyone would pay big bucks for a 72-rd uzi drum that's 8 rounds more than 2 cheapo stick mags. Drums are heavy and clumsy. Sometimes unreliable.

I recall when I bought mine. I sent my upper and the kit back to Lage to get it 'tuned'. He sent it back. The kit was installed in the upper -- and there was another NIW kit in the box. His daughter had mistakenly sent an extra. Had it been anyone else but Richard Lage, I would have been tempted...

Its plenty accurate. 223 has pretty minimal recoil.

Mine works great. Not nearly as loud as I thought it would be with a 10" barrel. I was going to swap it out for a 14", but decided not to. Yeah, its kind of pricey, but it really does transform your M11/9 into a different gun.

What's the difference in price between a RR and a RB? I have a Vector RR. Bought it 23 years ago. I've never replaced anything in it. I had a 22 kit, but I could never get it to work that well. I have a 45 kit, but I can't remember the last time I used it. That kit runs 100%, but it'll remind...

Only on the movies.
