80% UZI

Discuss work on firearms; whether that is making yours from the ground up, milling an 80%, putting together a kit, or fine tuning a trigger job.

Have you visited the Weapons Guild? The people there are very helpful and extremely knowledgeable.

How is this build holding up? Any issues in the last year and a half?

I've shot the hell out of it, and its holding up pretty good. Still not 100% reliable, though. Mostly feeding problems. I'm getting near retirement, so I'm selling off about 75% of the collection, and probably the UZI, in the next year or so.

Ok so I want to know a little more... My welding skills are 110% but UZI is about .001%.

My understanding is that it requires TIG, and the most crucial welds are ones securing the trunion into the receiver because the bolt will be pounding on that trunion, attempting to dislodge it.

Got TIG covered, I wasn't even aware there were 80% out there I'll have so sit down this weekend and do a little research.

Don't need no fancy smanchy TIG welder. I used a cheap HF wire feed and it holds together just fine. Fire 9mm +P++P all day.
