Anyone make a 9mm AR barrel with threads for a UZI supressor. I have a thread adaptor but would love to have a dedicated upper for my AR. About 7 inches, because the UZI full auto can is so long. This would be for my regestered SBR of course.
Thanks in advance to all that can help.

You could go with an adapter

I have the adapter from trous. Mark does good work. But I would like a dedicated barrel.

Yea, sorry I misread your post.  

Mabee adco can help, they have done all kinds of barrel chopping and rethreading for me.  Give Steve an email.

Will be a custom job... I had one made back in early 2003, then it seems to be copied once in a while, as at the time, the VECTOR's were flooding the market.

I had the first barrel as far as I know, few have followed.

The original stainless barrel for my 9mm AR :



The barrel has since been removed, and cut to fit my M-11-9 SMG, the AWC Mk9 gets around :


This is an adapter I drew up a few years before I drew the barrel... With Marks' adapter(came out after mine), it is missing the barrel stub portion used to align suppressor and barrel, and a un-wanted side effect is that portion of the suppressor where the barrel fits gets covered with muzzle blast debris, and when you go to install it onto an Uzi, the barrel wont fit due to the crud.


M60JOE has taken a std 9mm barrel and fittied it with a sleve, then threaded and finish to mock the front of Uzi,  as somebody wanted similar result to what I had, but did not want the cost of barrel cut from blank.

Thanks SBR7_11 This is just what im looking for. I will have to give Joe a call. I would also love to have one for the M-11 9. Never even thought of that. Again Thanks.

Tell "JOE" that Hal sent you......

I have a long M11 barrel sitting around modified to take an AR float tube and use Uzi mount.....

I might get a spare Max-11 barrel and have him do it at the same time.

Hal did you send him the AR barrel or will he have some on hand?
Should I use a crome lined or regular. Its not for full auto just a regestered SBR.

The AR barrel seen in previous post above is one he did that belongs to somebody over at subguns.com.. the owner wanted a way to use his Uzi can on a short AR/M16 barrel, so "Joe" took and  sleeved the barrel so it could sport Uzi thread and look like Uzi out front.   Joe took and sent me pics of the work via e-mail before he sent the barrel back to the owner.

If you buy a LAGE barrel for the M11  that is "blank" out front,,,,,, you need to verify that is approx 1.020" OD to accept the 26mm x 1.5 thread for the Uzi mounting.

Just noticed no where for the gas tube? Will this convert it to a blow back design. Will I need a special buffer? What size are you running? Am I missing anything else?
Thanks.

9mm AR are all blowback operated. You should use a 9mm buffer though. It's a steel buffer to adda little mass to the system.

Thanks for the info. I knew th ar45 were blowback. What about the .22 conversions are the blowback also?

Correct

Will this convert it to a blow back design.
"COLT" pattern and "OLY" pattern are both blowback.

Will I need a special buffer?
Buffer is about weight,,, I would not use anything less than the std rifle buffer weight of 5.2oz,  but my buffer has a brass dowel inside, bringing weight to 7.0oz, I use it with both 9mm and my 7.5" and 11.5" .22/5.56 uppers.

What size are you running?
Rifle buffer weighing in at 7.0oz (brass dowel machined and polished for slip fit in the std A2 buffer body)

Am I missing anything else?
Think about it, and ask if it comes to mind, but basically everything is std AR/M16 as far as upper & lower, you is just sticking a 9mm barrel in the front of the upper, 9mm bolt cycles back and forth just like its 5.56 brother, it all comes down to a mag block to take up the extra space in the AR/M16 magwell, a magazine to hold the ammo, and some added buffer weight to hold the bolt shut a wee bit longer so you don't get a bunch of blast debris out the eject port.Thanks.
