Bought this for a SHTF kit as 9mm is plentiful and zips right along with the 16” barrel. I gave it a thorough cleaning and lubed it and the magazines up with a 50/50 mixture of Mobil 1 and Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer. After the oil I wipe the exterior down well, then apply Frog Lube. Started using the concoction when I was stationed in Kodiak Alaska for 8 years. The weather there is wet 70% of the time and the salt water on the coast can do a number on any metal, including stainless steel. Loaded each mag up with 28 rounds of WWB. Went with 28 rounds as the mags are hard to load, especially with every round towards the max of 32. Got the sights lined up at 15 rounds then went back to the 25 yard line. Standing it was giving me 3”, 5 round groups. Before going to the range I checked the trigger pull and it was breaking at 8.2 pounds with a fairly long pull. That weight didn’t do anything for accuracy, especially with me standing. I then put down some sand bags to see how it would do rested up. BIG improvement! Even with the trigger I was shooting 1 1/4” groups at 25 yards, opening up to 2” groups at 50 yards. I did have some FTF’s with one of the mags that I bought at a gun show. The other mag worked like a champ. It’s not a full auto but one can get some serious lead down range quickly and fairly accurately. I was some rounds at a full sized targets at 100 yards. I’m 64 and don’t have the eyes I used to have, but was able to keep most of the rounds on 12” groups. If the trigger broke at 4 rounds I’m sure the accuracy would improve dramatically. It’s easy to stow, and also looks pretty cool. I’ve since bought another mag for it and it’s a reliable weapon and one my wife can shoot without flinching. For the money thought it was a very good deal. This is my 7th transaction I’ve had with Buds. Everything went extremely smooth and I would recommend they check out Buds before every purchase!!!!

Tldr version: jam-o-matic. Long version: could not get through a mag without at least one jam, usually around 5. Sent it back to century and waited. Got it back, same thing. Problem wasnt fixed. Sent it back again, still wouldnt get through a mag without jamming. Piece of junk. How can century take a gun known for its reliablity and make it so terrible? I really liked the feel and look. Uzi is a cool gun but the amount of jams is unacceptable. Pass on this

Let’s be honest, every guy who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s with action movies knows and loves the Uzi. I had been looking for one for awhile, after missing out on these years past. Somehow I noticed buds had one in stock and boom! Now I own the iconic carbine. Buds transaction was 10/10 as always. As for the rifle. I was a little worried as these tend to have mixed reviews, but when I picked it up found it to be in pretty good looking shape, and it took snap caps without issue. I finally got it to the range and ran about 200 rounds of various brands and styles through it. Both ball ammo worked great, including wolf, and brown bear as well as normal brass cases stuff. I then put some hollow points through it and found it to be a little more finicky on the first round, but it went smooth after that. I did find one quirk with it, where if the selector gets pushed to far forward it will not fire, so be careful of that. But all in all I’m happy with this purchase. It will soon be a great little SBR.

I had an issue with the UC9, the barrel is to tight for a 9mm. I thought it was a squibb load but, after some test. it was the barrel issue. the guy who bought it and explain that , how he fixed with emery cloth and that what I did and i fixed the problem. Sharing helps and it really count. Thank you

This thing is built like a tank! And probably as heavy as one too. Do not be fooled it is 9 lbs no kidding. As the song goes "My Uzi weighs a ton" this literally does lol. Every time I take it to the range everyone wants to hold and shoot it. This gun has super star fame status and is a legend. Most people have never seen one before except in movies, and are drawn to it. Including the range staff. And yes almost everyone who holds it breaks in to their best Arnold Schwarzenegger impression, telling me "Uzi 9mm" My wife loves, to shoot it claiming there is almost no recoil. Due to its solid 9lb weight. I love this carbine because of its history and looks and besides, it's just plain fun to shoot. The gun came good looking in a large padded cardboard box with one 32rnd and one 25rnd magazine no manual but one can be downloaded from century arms. There was not a scratch on the weapon. Very happy if you are on the fence about getting this gun go ahead you will be glad u did!!!!!!!

Built like a rock, and it could be it is 9 pounds. Well it is made of pure steel, and its balanced that if you hold it with one hand you could be fired one handed. It is solid I believe it is put together as good as IMI put them together themselves.getting the ATF form 1 together so I can replace the barrel wth a 10.25 threaded barrel. Buy one and be a kid again. Just know you you have to pay for ammo not caps

After planning to purchase this Uzi for over a year, and numerous times coming upon the dreaded "out of stock" notification whenever I was ready to buy it, I can finally say now that the wait was worth it. I placed my order for in store pickup at a Bud's on a Monday, and it was ready to be picked up Friday morning. The gun arrived in excellent condition both inside and out, the parts looked extremely new and in good shape; the springs and accessories were all new and showed little wear. Field stripping the Uzi is VERY easy, and there are only a few moving parts so diagnosing a problem when they occur is usually simple. After cleaning all contact and moving parts with some Remington oil it was off to the gun range. Now, I intend to test a variety of ammo out including 115gr and hollow points but after doing a lot of research most Uzi shooters do prefer 124gr rounds. I went with Winchester 124gr NATO (these are loaded to slightly higher pressures than standard 124gr rounds)- the logic being that you need a slightly heavier bullet with more pop to reliably cycle the very heavy bolt of the Uzi. I fired 200 of the Winchester rounds without a single malfunction and I was delighted to find out that the sights on mine were dead on accurate- I was hitting bowling pins hanging out at 65 yards with no problem. Mine came with a 25 round magazine and a 32 round mag- I tested both and they worked perfectly. The UZI feels like a really heavy duty, indestructible piece of hardware and even though it weighs as much as an AK, the compact size of it makes it easy to wield and hold on target. The only thing that I would be wary of on these is the top cover- because Century builds these out of new and old surplus parts, some are being manufactured with full auto top covers. The full autos were designed to be fired from an open bolt and the top covers on these have ratcheted teeth that hold the bolt open. The bolt on a semi auto Uzi has a shorter throw and the bolt can become stuck and very hard to release. Mine came with a full auto top cover and after a while the bolt became stuck in the rear position and was very hard to release. This can be fixed by removing the 3 components within the top cover that allow the ratchets to attach onto the slide. All you need is a screwdriver to unscrew the charging handle and if you remove those parts the slide will come back as far as you can pull it without catching on the ratchets- you do NOT need to spend money on ordering another top cover. This takes 5 minutes to do. Overall I really love this Uzi. Century has gotten a bad rap in the past but I think they are really stepping up their game in terms of quality. My Uzi looks, feels, and shoots great, so I can't ask for more than that. Bud's also had excellent and friendly customer service, at least at the in store location I went to. Thanks Buds!

Nice looking gun, sturdy, all metal construction. Smooth and flawless operation! Fun to shoot and pretty accurate (open sights only). Only problem is weight, thick pistol grip, and getting used to squeezing lever on grip to fire. would be better with shorter barrel or suppressor but then it would be too short for rifle qualification. Worth the money, high quality!
