Full size UZI Weld jig

[painted black]

Hello All,

This is my first UZI build and first post. I am excited to be with you all. I have built many AKs in the past but this will be my first UZI and I am tryinh to find the best way to tackle this project. I have a nice parts kit/barrel from numrich and and 80% reciever from RTG on the way. The hardest thing about this build seems to be getting the barrel, reciever, feed ramp in alignment and property spaced. Seems like the best way to accomplish this is with the use of an alignment bar or weld jig. The only place currently that has them in stock is RTG and im having trouble wanting to spend the 150 bones on something i feel like i could possibly build along with im just getting into UZIs so who know how many time I qould use it. My question is does anybody have any experience with building a jig and how did it go or is the jig not necessary?

I feel like it should be easy to build with some bar stock, pipe or thread all, etc.

Thank you in advance for any information.

Buy it for 150, use it once, and sell it to the next in line for 100...120. Saves you a day to make your own, and then it saves you even more because you might do something wrong in the first place.

Thats what I was thinking but the only place I know has them is RTG and from what I have heard is that the do not have the correct spacing from the trinion to the feed ramp. I just got an 80% in the mail from them today and the top cove doesn't fit right along with the FCG. I could probably get it to fit with some work but if the jig is off like that the im screwed.
