I am a Class III dealer, and I have two Ruger Mini-14's with folding stocks that I need registered as SBR's and have their barrels shortened to 13 inches and gas port adjusted for that short of a barrel. Any recommendations for me? Reply to me at: leantimes@aol.com Charles H. Tatum, Alamo Professional Arms

A good number of years ago, I experimented with Thompson SMG springs. They worked pretty well. I cannot remember who wanted to put a kit into production, but I had a bunch of Thompson springs and a timer/round counter that I used. I was trying to come up with a specific length of spring for a specific ROF, but I got tied up in other things. I did the same thing with the buffers that are available to change the ROF of Uzi SMG's. Get you some Thompson springs and work on determining the length that you need for a specific ROF. I had an M3A1, so the longer springs made it difficult to pull the bolt back with your finger. I like a ROF of around 750 RPM. I get that with my Uzi and I had that with my M3A1. I never took into consideration that this might beat out the back of the Greasegun. You can get away with it if you do not do a lot of shooting with the stronger springs in it, but my experimentation was back when Post May Sample M3A1's went for $200 each, so I was not too concerned about it. With the price of full auto guns now, beating up your weapon is definitely something to consider. Charles Tatum Alamo Professional Arms

I am a Class III dealer. I have an AR15 lower receiver that I need a Class II to engrave and register as an SBR and transfer back to me. Anyone know of a Class II that can do this for me? Charles Tatum, Alamo Professional Arms

I checked for availability of parts, and parts for the mini Uzi are difficult to find. I think I should go with the H&K MP5A2 #!. Let me know if you still have that one. Charles Tatum, Alamo Professional Arms, Helotes, TX 78023

I am definitely interested in the IMI Mini Uzi. Send me some pictures. Charles Tatum, Alamo Professional Arms, Helotes, TX 78023

Will do, Aaron. I am surprised that they are so scarce. Somebody has got to be holding a lot of them. I had a bunch, but I cannot find them. I tried one of the Green Mountain barrels, and the rounds would jam every other round, and that was trying different magazines and even different ammo. Charles

Does anyone know where I can buy some original IMI Uzi SMG barrels. They can be used or new. Charles Tatum Alamo Professional Arms San Antonio, Texas

That sounds great to me. I am also a veteran and prefer to do business with other vets. So, it sounds like a match made in heaven, or for our enemies, both foreign and domestic, a match made in Hell. My e-mail addy is: leantimes@aol.com Drop me an e-mail giving me the details and your address. The rifle is on the way to me and should be here some time next week. Thanks a lot for your response. I am very pleased that I located you. You sound very knowledgeable about this topic. Charles Tatum

I am a Class III Dealer. I have a Ruger Mini14 with the factory folding stock. I want to turn it into a semi-auto AC556 configured SBR. I would like to have a Class II register it and also shorten the barrel to 13 inches and fine tune the gas system. I already have the sight to go on top of the gas block like the AC556 does, and I have a flash suppressor with 1/2 X 28 threads. If all I can get the Class II to do is register it and transfer it back to me, I will get a gunsmith to shorten the barrel. Let me know who can do this.
