WTK:IS there a market for the group Uzi rec.?

[tal035]

I may be getting a few and wondered if there is any Market for them? If so, I will list them in the WTS forum. Probably $150-$175 , and they would be an FFL item

You mean a Group Industries shell right. I can't imagine you mean a fully built receiver. I'm sure there's a market, though I heard some of them were out of spec (I think I actually have one of those and was planning to use it mostly as a repair section).

what is out of spec on them? Any idea?

All the shells are out of spec.

The good ones became transferables.

Was told the above by D&D sales.

Could be anything from twisted receiver to stamping out of alingment or slight up or down bow.

I would be interested in one @ 150 possibly 2 if cheaper.

I have the prints to finish these off successfully if you do get some.

This will explain a bit about them

UZI alignment tools

Does anyone know where I can buy or even rent/ borrow UZI alignment tools (my preference is to buy my own set to keep) I'm really interested in D&D Sales' kit that he was last selling in the early 2000's. Any information would help me tremendously. I'm listing this here on the forum side of...

OK, those are the shells, which is what I was thinking. In fact two of them don't even have the pocket to insert the trigger group pressed in yet. This is why your original post confused me a bit. So I have to ask, why are these FFL items? They're not completed receivers so they're not actual firearms. These shells usually get bought and sold by mail. Did whoever sold them to you make you go through an FFL?

Receiver sheet metal is usually mild steel since most forces are handled by the barrel, trunnion and bolt.
Think unibody construction where all the various parts support each other.
As such, it's actually quite forgiving if you understand it's pressure points.
Hardwood blocks and an arbor press or small hydraulic press is all you need to shape, reshape or straighten them cold.
Any flats folded incorrectly where pin holes don't line up might be a little more work to TIG holes closed then redrill them.
Depending on how much work you want to put into them; even the unsalvageable ones make dandy FFL papereweights.

They are stamped with all the info a regular firearm would have.
That's why the batfe makes em go FFL.
They have been this way since day one.
My guess and it's only a guess is the info was put on them as they were stamped out not after the fact.

But yes they can be finished easier with the correct prints and instructions
Since those include zero points to pull all locations.

Again I would buy one possibly two and I would hook you up with the 46 pages of info we converted over to PDF last summer from D&D

If they have a serial number on the opposite side of the receiver rear in the pictures posted I would assume they are an FFL item
