slow mini uzi build.

[ericthered]

I have a full size Uzi receiver i plan on chopping down and converting to a mini uzi. It is a closed bolt semi auto pistol. Will most likely use a mini repair section to do it. As bolts are either expensive or hard to find, I am going to try my hand at making one. That is where I will start this thread. Whether all of my great plans come to fruition or not im not to worried about. I just like messing around with this stuff in my spare time. I will be trying to go on the cheap as much as possible. Will see how that works out for me as well.

For the bolt: I modeled it in fusion 360 (very much thanks to Jones for supplying me with the unique dimensions to the mini bolt). I printed the first plastic bolt on my 3d printer to check fitment and clearances. Other than all of my holes being a little small i am very happy with it.
I plan to print it in a plastic that is designed for lost plastic casting. Then cast it and have a steel bolt. My "machine shop" is severely limited (I have a mini lathe and a drill press), but I think that I can manage to produce something functional.

Attached are photos of the plastic bolt in my full size Uzi. It is also shown in comparison with the full size bolt.

Think the picture thing (or me) goofed on the first post, so got doubles.

i love this idea! and that's something that i cannot make in practice for many reason.

this guy made an uzi model " scale one " with all parts it's a .skp that can be opened with "sketchup" may be you could convert into another file format. i do not know if that is the right model but with this you could modify a virtual model.

i do not like "sketchup" i have it onto a pc i could look if i can do something if you want it.
