Has Anyone Tried This Uzi Stock

[Caverpete]

Global also sells the semi top cover for $75 (stripped).

Hmmm, in the Practical Solutions description it says 1” longer lop than the factory folding stock. I’m interested in how this works on a full size Uzi but I’m also contemplating a Mini Uzi weldup using the rear section from a full size. This stock could be modified (if necessary) and refinished much cheaper than buying a used mini stock for $1k lol.
ETA: oh I get it, OVERALL shorter when folded ?

I built my poor man's mini with a full size UZI rear stub.

I didn't know this stock existed, but I think it's going to be too long for my application. But definitely looks like a well made option.

FULL SIZE FOLDING STOCK

Says they make mini stocks too.

That is correct Practical does make a mini length it's what I have on my M10 and comparing it to the OAL of a mini stock it is correct.

Great good to know akarms.
Last I spoke with them they were planning on scaling back the repair sections due to being " Dad's hobby" and not a real money maker.
Then the batfe started with the everything is a receiver crap I just figured lack of seeing them they stopped turning them out.
I haven't seen them on GB but I haven't looked either since I already bought mine back when I picked up the kits.
And the price ( 90 bux ) is now cheaper then they were in 2017 when I bought mine from BWE.

Mini repair sections. Check his other auctions for top cover and other parts.

3200 isn't a bad price for the kit if you need it or plan on building a semi.
Semi IMI mini's are just now creeping north of 4k for a complete package with carbine manual & bubble case.
Even the vector semi clones are worth 3200 now.
At one time you couldn't give the stuff away CDNN was selling semi bolts & 19 inch barrels for 20 bux a set.
I looked for 7 years to find a mini stock for my parts kit so I sold it then lucked into a complete mini kit minus receiver a year later.
And nowdays you can't even get a repair section for a mini or micro.
Back to cutting a full size repair section down and rewelding it.
When they were for sale they only had two outlets for purchase.
Global or BWE you could purchase from either of them.
Richard of BWE has passed
And the owner of global that was stamping them out for BWE passed away a few years back leaving the biz to his son.
Global stamps mostly resturaunt equipment like oven hoods and counter tops. And truck bumpers.
The son has no real interest in his dads side gig and hobby of stamping repair sections for guns so no more MG42 shells, micro, or mini shells.
There is one other company that does full size uzi repair sections but none of the shells I listed above.
I have a feeling but I'm not certain they also do the H&K and Cetme shells too.

I remember when CDNN was selling those (mini bolts), that's the only reason I have one to begin with. I sure wish I'd bought one of their barrels too. They also used to sell the IMI 20rd mags for about $7 each if I recall. Those were the days.

As of a few weeks ago, I finally have all the parts I need to build a semi-mini myself, after scrounging parts for years (since back when CDNN had the bolts, actually). I finally have the welding equipment and front/rear demilled sections to work with too. All I need is a mini repair section and some welding skills (and a barrel).

I had no idea the mini stocks had gotten so expensive. I'm kind of glad I didn't know, or a couple of years ago when I was running tight on funds I might have been tempted to sell the mini stock I acquired some years ago for a good price.

That's some nice work NorincoKid.

Since I can’t figure out how to quote members in this forum, I’ll invent my own way:

NorincoKid, with your welding and parkerizing skills you could easily modify this stock to be Mini Uzi length/size.

Global still stamps mini and micro repair sections they are 90 bucks on gunbroker I use them all the time

Global also sells the semi top cover for $75 (stripped).

thes top covers aren’t the best. They are very flimsy. Not like the originals. They work, but bend easily

 

[Caverpete]

Good to know about the top covers. I guess I’ll have to make one from a full size.

Oh I wish I could weld

A grinder and paint make you the welder you ain't...

I'm a piss poor welder but luckily am somewhat not-retarded with a flap disc.

 

[slimshady]

Ask around, some retired guy does little jobs like this for a few bucks. Or better yet grab one of the inverter imported TIG welders for a few hundred and learn.

Thanks! I mainly inhabit The AK Forum and posting is a bit different there.

That's good info. I have more full size topcovers than I'll need so I was planning to cut one in half like suka5168 did in the reference library, but what worries me about that is that I know from experience that those covers are hard as heck. I once drilled two holes into one and it took me several bits until I finally bought a cobalt one and even then it was quite an effort.

Oh I wish I could weld

Me too! I've been planning this project (among many) for over ten years, and only last year did I finally complete my bolt group so I had no more excuse. I got the welding equipment a couple of months ago (during a Black Friday sale) but haven't yet tried it out. I really wish I could find someone locally to give me some basic classes, but nobody seems to be available here in Miami. The irony is that my dad knows how to weld, though he hasn't done it in a while, but he's in Puerto Rico now. One of my uncles is an expert welder who made a living out of it and was high up in the boilermakers' union, but I can't go to him either because he lives in Tennessee (also, he's a bit of a psycho).

I have a cheap Chinesium TIG it was $189 on Amazon a few years ago it's been great.

I've always ran it on 110v, never needed to take take the amperage past half...gun stuff is usually delicate/thin. Worth every penny and honestly haven't even thought about getting a nicer machine.

In my opinion a cut down and rewelded one will hold up better long term if done right

Man all that is amazing. I've journeyed through all those areas you mentioned, and my Grandpa, Dad and uncles were damn good welders & fabricators too. I'm looking for a used welding rig to start playing with. I'll weld everything around here LOL, til' I get it right
