Uzi .22 with 165 rd. drum magazine

First time out with my new drum adapter from subgun-ordnance.com.

It uses drums from the AM-180 machine gun. The .22 kit is from Vector Arms, and the gun is registered (pre-Vector) Group Industries gun.

I currently have the two 165-round drums, and this was the first time out with the drums & adapter. I was using Federal bulk pack ammo from Walmart. Note that this is not one of the recommended types of ammo for this drum. It is also interesting to note that the first drum ran nearly flawlessly with only one malfunction, while the second drum had multiple problems. I wonder if it is a matter of breaking the drum in. Or maybe I just need to clean the gun after every drum.

There are also 220-rd. and 275-rd. drums available from E&L Manufacturing. They are going to be fairly heavy, but I'm tempted to try one out anyway.

And yes - from the background commentary, you can tell it was "take your daughter shooting" day.

A company called Subgun Ordnance in Wisconsen makes them.

[jakk1045]

@urbman29

I believe it was the Federal bulk-pack stuff.

[DirtyFrigginHarry]

This looks like the most fun gun ever but really jam-prone too. Is it the conversion or the mag?

[jakk1045]

@DirtyFrigginHarry

It runs very well with the Black Dog stick mags. I'm still tinkering with the drum.

That shit jammed a whole lot

[glock10mm]

@josuedelatorre35 yes you can as long as your state allows them and its made before the 86 cut off date,no license needed unless your a dealer other wise its just a one time $200 fee

[glock10mm]

@foughtwolf your talking about dealers not private owners,there are only a couple of forms to fill out and get your prints done as well as attach photos to the paper work,then send $200 dollars in with it and wait a couple months,then you get a stamp no licence or permit just a stamp attached to your paperwork.plus you have to live in a state that allows them and the tax is a one time thing

[foughtwolf]

@foughtwolf

You can, but you have to have the correct licensing, and the hoops you have to jump through make it quite hard to do so. Its very expensive to get the proper licensing and continue to hold it, as its a yearly renewal.

[josuedelatorre35]

@foughtwolf so u cant buy an automatic weapon if ur a civilian?

[foughtwolf]

@josuedelatorre35

You can get a Norinco model, semi only, 16 inch barrel for about 7-900 dollars. SBR models can be made from that with either a new barrel or a cut and recrowned stock barrel, and the normal paperwork and 200 dollars. FA models require you to be lots of things. This is all only if your in the US though.

[josuedelatorre35]

how much does it cost to buy an Uzi?

[FuriousPumpkin]
