Is anyone still making semi fullsize uzi 9mm carbines?

[ruskiegunlover]

I am about to be in the market for a shooter. NOT full auto, NOT IMI. Just want a semi 9mm. See nome accept for deals on armslist.

Would prefer to buy new. I see the ones atlantic had dis not have the front sling swivel, which is a big turn off for me. Should never habe sold my last vector as it ran 100%.

Century? Cannot understand why no one seems to be. Seems like there are kits out there....

Am I out of luck and stuck buying used?

Atlantic Firearms has them listed, but sold out right now. It has had good reviews so I personally wouldn't worry too much about the missing swivel.

Those are the ones made from my parts. Top quality build!

How hard is it to add the swivel? Do not like the incompleteness.

Also.....Have a chance at a local century uzi being sold by a 70 year old man. Says is 100%, no issues. Asking $700. Decent deal? 1 25 rd and 2 32 rd mags.

Got pics?
If not, how does it look?

IIRC, there is a thread here that shows how to both bolt one on and rivet one on (rivet is the correct way, and, if you know how, is actually easier to do {I have never riveted on an Uzi, but I have riveted sheet metal.} AK builders who have riveted their receivers (and know how to rivet) report no problems.
If you don't know how to rivet, I'm sure YouTube has enough videos to teach you how to do it. (It's much easier than cutting threads into metal with a hand-held Tap)
If you would be more comfortable, get some scrap metal and practice; rivets are very cheap)

Century looks brand new.

I have a century uc9... It's ok. Not awesome. Original firing pin failed after a few hundred rounds

How much is something like that worth than btw?

 

[sniperdoc]

Personally, I would ve interested at $500, in the condition you describe

The ones Atlantic sells are made by Velocity Firearms (https://www.velocityfirearms.com/product/rmuz-09-uzi-style-rifle/). Drop them an email and ask when they're doing a another batch. It's a much better gun then a Century.

IF.... you aren't in a hurry and would like one made with the best available parts.... Talk to BWE and see what their status would be.

Here's some pictures of the quality of his work, literally perfection:

My century UC9 has been stellar.

I did file the tip of the firing pin a little shorter because they were going so deep into the primers, I was amazed that they weren't popping right and left.

I also had to file some of the thread length off of the front sight post because it wouldn't seat deep enough to get proper zero.

I paid $550 for it new several years back when they were being produced.

given you can still buy a preban IMI for less than $1500, market for a new one may be limited.

On another board they said this summer there should be another batch for sale.

 

[ruskiegunlover]

Wonder if these new velocity ones will have the forward sling swivel? Going to let my ptr91gi and a sig p220 go to get back into a semi 9mm uzi.

Passed on the century.

Why not an IMI? Plug and play.Load, shoot,have fun.

 

[ruskiegunlover]

Well, have a budget.
