"Cleared hot" is a common military phrase. It means you are authorized to fire a weapon. It's most frequently used by aircrews.
OP, it's cheap enough to obtain a couple standard barrels and get one 3-lugged. I'd probably do that. Get one threaded 1/2-28, and another equipped with a 3-lug, but do not do both to the same barrel. Then you'd run into problems with the thread protector. |

First machine gun cleared hot. HR4332 Uzi. It's running on 115 grain so I was pretty happy about that. Scouting around for parts and I see RTG is carrying some. I'm good on mags but looking for additional parts for replacement and specifically a short FBI barrel, threaded 1/2x28, for a can or that I can attach a tri-lug to. Any/all help is appreciated. Tango. As others have noted, in my experience, a barrel-nut can is both more effective and shorter than a tri-lug on an Uzi. YMMV. |

Here's mine (LRM US9) with my suppressed 92: http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/1498uziand92.gif I have a chopped down full size and Mini barrel that I use with my MK9k for the shortest setup. For a dedicated setup, it is definitely the way to go. However, it is less convenient when you want to move the can around and maybe shoot unsuppressed and then you have to remember where you put the barrel nut. Sooo, I am also torn between that and a 3 lug setup. I typically run the 3 lug more since it is so fast in moving the can and no concern of looking for the barrel nut as it is always on. There are also several variants of the 3 lug setup. Picture below shows some of the variations for the MK9K however the Bixler design I think may still be used by AWC on their cans. Not pictured is my UZI barrel nut mount for the MK9K. As you can see, you are not locked into one mount type on the MK9K....like most 9mm cans these days.

I just bought a mint 1944 M1A1 Thompson for $12,000." Sure there are bargains out there. But finding a deal like that is a total fluke, it depends on finding a seller whose understanding of the MG market is 15 years out of date and has no clue how to figure out what his gun is worth. so the buyer is flattering himself by attributing his dumb luck to perseverance or savvy. You wonder why he doesn't just start a business. Just find one of them sweet deals per day and retire on the profit. |

Anyway, OP, congrats on your first MG.
You sure picked a good one, the UZI is one of the very best MGs ever made and it is a very fun gun. Very accurate as well. Lots of spare parts available, of which you will need none. You will not wear anything out. I guess get some extractors. And a new top cover and red dot mount for the top cover and a red dot sight. I really only ever use the red dot on mine. an aimpoint h1 I guess get some new old stock recoil springs. Might need a new one eventually. Get a quick detach wood stock, the folder is uncomfortable. Go to uzitalk, that's the UZI hangout for UZI fanatics. Get a LULA loader, big help loading mags. |

I have a hard case full of spares . I tend to like to have what I need to repair any issues . I may have contributed to drying those up. Yup. When I bought my NIB Vector Uzi in 2003, first thing I did was buy a BOGO: Two complete minty S.African parts kits (including barrels) for $99 total plus shipping, so I had three of everything. Then I bought a fourth surplus barrel to cut down to 8.5" Secret Service length for use with my LRM US9 barrel-nut-mount suppressor, and a fourth top cover for amphibian to do his co-witnessing Doctor Optic mount. Among a ton of other accessories, like an extended laminated QD stock, a new factory VFG foreend, a ton of mags, and later both .45 ACP GG-mag-lower and .22RF conversion kits. What have I used from the two parts kits over the past 13 years? Exactly one rear takedown pin, which didn't break: I somehow misplaced it. One of my parts kits went to my SOT son, who built a postie from it, and it's still running great after years of hard use. For those who want to hear how cheap MGs used to be, and how the market can change overnight: I bought the full-size Vector Uzi NIB in 2003 for $3,700, less than a month after Vector sold the last one in inventory. I had been on JLM's group purchase list for $2,465 each, but the day he called me to say mine had arrived, I had just bought an NIB STEn-converted M11/9mm two days before for $1,300; I felt broke, so I asked Jim if I could pass and get on the top of the list for the next order. He laughed, said "Sure, no problemo, got lots of folks on the list that'll take yours" ... but there was no next order, as Vector ran out after JLM's were delivered. So that quick decision cost me an extra $1,235 a few weeks later. Ya live and learn....

It's highly likely that most MG parts shortages are caused by gun collectors.
Sometimes a semi-auto version of a gun will be produced and that uses up a lot of parts. For example, the rear sight on the 1928 Thompsons was an expensive Lyman ladder sight. So when they started making semi-auto versions of the gun for people who cannot own the MG version, they sucked up all the remaining Lyman sights. But most of the time I think the parts disappear because of MG owners compulsively buying spare parts "before they all run out". So the spare parts inventory is taken out of a warehouse and re-warehoused in everyone's house. I own 20 exc used UZI magazines and 20 NIW mags. So far, I have used 3 of the used mags. So that's around 35 or so mags taken off the market and warehoused in the filing cabinet next to my gun safe. Someday I'll kick the bucket and my wife will probably throw them away. You know a lot of this stuff is going to get thrown out. That precious, irreplaceable spring kit for your Thompson lower is just a baggie of little springs. Who is going to know what it is when gramps dies and they start tossing all his stuff? BTW, I was forced to buy the UZI mags. They were $8.99 each. But technically, the existing parts supplies should last forever. How many full auto UZI bolts wear out each year? One? One half? |

All the small parts, pins, springs, etc look like trash to the uninformed. |
