And I got no clue about them, so I was hoping yall could help out
My friend handed me a bag with a bunch of UZI stuff in it, and asked me if I could tell him what he had, and what its worth (I don't know if this forum will allow me to ask value, but please IM me). What is present is 6 32rd mags, 2 25rd mags, and 1 50rd mag. The mags are apparently not worth much. Also present are two 9mm barrels that don't appear to be chrome lined. 1 measures 16.25 inches, the other is about 10 inches. They both need some cleaning. None of them seem to have any marks indicating manufacturer. I found an UZI parts website, but that website indicated some barrels are for full auto only, while others are not, but it doesn't tell me how to tell the difference. There is also a 36 hole (4 rows, 9 holes each row) what looks like a barrel shroud. Other little bitts are in the bag. A khaki sling, grip panels, and under folding stock, a couple of buffers (I think), what appears to be a front sight too. |

Semi barrels have a reduced diameter at the chamber end and a thinner journal to fit into the restrictor ring and semi-spec trunion, respectively.
The 16" were mostly semi, since the only reason for having them was to make semi auto Uzi carbines that didn't fall under the NFA as short-barreled rifles. The 10" could be a short semi, or a stock MG barrel. Here's a picture of a stock FA barrel next to one I converted for use in my semi SBR host. You can see the bare metal where I turned the chamber end down to fit inside the restrictor ring, and up near the flange where I turned down the journal to fit the semi-spec trunion of my Uzi Model A SBR host:

Last time I looked, new U.S. production MG profile barrels could be had for ~$110 from Green Mountain and such. Original barrels from IMI/SA/FN/etc. can be worth a lot if they are in good condition since ATF will no longer allow these to be imported.
Check the mags for markings. German surplus MP2 mags sell for $10 all day long but some people pay a premium for rare mags and markings. The rest of the stuff is all what you can still get as part of complete parts kits selling for <$200 delivered without the barrel or receiver. Check RTG Gun Parts for relative pricing on individual parts. HERE is a source for the barrel shroud ($79) and other parts. |
