New here with an IMI uzi model A!

[NXPRSS]

hey guys, new to this forum, but not to guns! just bought an unfired imi uzi model a last week, picked it up on Friday. new in box, couldn't be happier! I bought pdogs scope rail mount just to have since he seemed to be selling his last batch.
learning a lot from this forum, thanks to all the members keeping the uzi thread alive!

Congrats on the UZI. Sounds like a beauty! Are you going to shoot it or keep it new in box?

Welcome to the Forum. I don't think you could be in better hands.

Thanks guys. I'm most likely going to shoot it... it's too nice just to be sitting in a box... I'll post some pics alittle later.

I bought a NIB Model A and held it for almost 2 years because it was NIB and I didn't want to spoil it. I finally realized it is a gun and was designed and produced to be shot and all was well in the universe once made that first trigger pull. It is my favorite gun......enjoy yours.

:welcome

Every Uzi was once NIB... Someone's gotta shoot it, someday. Or did you buy it for a museum?

Seriously, I procured my NIB Uzi in 2010 and 'safe-queened' it for a while than came to my senses.

Added: GG&G 6 o'clock rail and a Magpul AFG2 up front and bought 4 extra bolts (including the amazingly fast Ti one I found here), springs and 3 GM barrels that RUN.

With buffer blocks and/or the Ti bolt the Uzi SCREAMS...

nxpress, you got my mount, now take that sucker out and getter done. Your gonna have a blast with it. It may not be manly but several of us put wood stocks on them which makes them fit us better and more comfortable to shoot. You'll probably short barrel it eventually. I have a barrel shroud for my 16 inch barrel, takes that pencil look away from it and I still shoot both barrels, depends what mood I am in.
