Help! I’m addicted to Uzi’s!!

Anything with a stock needs to have a barrel over 16" long and have a total length of 26" or better. Folding stocks get to get measured open.

Any shorter than 16" needs one of these:


Once you have the stamp, you can use a barrel shorter than 16" and have a shorter length than 26". Let's you do this:


Vector semi-auto. Had it about 18 months. Sent in the Form 1 in February. Just got the barrel back from the machinist last evening. Funny thing is, with the short barrel it handles and balances like a different weapon. BSW

^^^Looks awsome ^^^

I'm hoping that by the end of the year I'll find the time to get the paperwork turned in and sbr the Model B.

A guy I work with has an original 10in IMI Uzi 9mm barrel that he said he'd give to me once I get approved. He doesn't own an Uzi but somehow acquired a short barrel many years back and it's been sitting on his shelf in unused condition ever since. So I have a free short barrel just waiting to go on this new Uzi but I can't take possession of it yet:banghead:

However, just putting a longer barrel on a pistol, while the pistol grip is still in place, is a no-no.

Kernel you are correct except for this one minor point. There is no law that says a handgun/pistol has to have a certain barrel length. You could put a 20" barrel on a handgun. It would be useless and impossible to handle but legal.

However, you can not put a vertical handgrip on a handgun. That makes it an AOW (Any Other Weapon) and requires a tax stamp from the ATF/IRS. I believe a horizontal handgrip is OK though (Contenders and Encores have these don't they?).

I believe a horizontal handgrip is OK though (Contenders and Encores have these don't they?).

That's because it's not a "horizontal handgrip" it's a "barrel shroud".

Tools?! So exactly what is the use for these "tools"?

Shooting things?

Concealed carry?

Why not?
