  1. Pre-Orders are CLOSED.

    May 1st, 2024, has arrived (or passed depending on when you’re reading this), officially closing the FNC bolt preorder period. Please note that unless prior arrangements have already been made with me personally, I’m rejecting any additional (new) pre-orders and will return new order payments should I receive any. The next opportunity to purchase an FNC bolt is after the parts are finished, with those units being sold at a “first come, first served” basis (at an undetermined higher cost). As previously stated, I only provided discounts to those individuals willing to go through the pre-order process.

    If you’ve sent money and haven’t received an acceptance receipt from me (PM, email, text), then please contact me immediately.

    I’m now sending my production order to the manufacturing partner. They will need to procure material and start the “tooling process”. Lots of secondary processes too like multiple heat treats so please expect 16-weeks + to get these bolts ready for customers. Please feel free to call me anytime should questions arise but I’ll post updates on this thread as we progress.

    We broke the 50-unit threshold which is phenomenal! Please accept my heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in the pre-order process, this project would not have happened without your support.

  2. The owner is ActionArmy is a regular seller at the Tulsa WANENMACHER'S Arms Show (my hometown) and over the years I've gotten to know him well.  He sells very cool retro UZI merchandise there at the show but more recently through his Etsy store.  I'm providing a link below and I ask that you please check out his store and give him some love.  Thank you!  Full transparency, I don't get anything out of this; I'm just supporting a friend.

  3. SGAmmo is an outstanding outfit!  I’ve ordered from them many times including some of this 50BMG - API & APIT. Buy all you can guys, these are the good old days. 

    (I have zero affiliation with SGA other than my buying history). 

    The pic below is this same ammo. My 1/2” AR500 plate didn’t stand a chance.

  4. I have multiples, so no worries there.  I accept postal money orders or venmo (friends and family).   
     

    @A Ros it’s a vice block. These are really popular among more common platforms such as the AR 15 but I’ve never seen one for UZI so I made it myself.  It mimics a magazine, but since it’s a solid polymer, it’s crush resistant.  It’s intended to be inserted into the firearm with a portion extending past the grip so it can be squeezed into a vice which is very helpful for servicing/cleaning the UZI.   

    I made something similar for myself a while back from a 25 round Israeli magazine. To keep the vice from crushing it, I filled up the lower portion with steel shot in epoxy, which worked really well, but was an enormous pain in the butt to make, and I had to destroy a perfectly good magazine in the process which I did not enjoy doing.  This polymer one (3d printed) is much better.  Another added benefit is that it does not have the ability to be loaded (obviously) which is ideal for safety.  
     

  5. I have no problem perusing another production run of extractors however, I've been told by a couple of others that they intend to make these so I'm electing to yield to them (out of an abundance of respect for the community).  If those people don't follow through, then I can pick this back up.

  6. There's only three weeks left until pre-orders close.  Please be aware that your deposits are due to me no later than May 1st because that's the date that I'm placing my production order with my manufacturing partner.  I will not accept any additional preorders past this date.  Please account for the time that it takes the US postal service to deliver mail because I can't provide any allowance for snail mail.  

     

    Thank you to everyone who's supported and/or participated in this project!!

  7. I want to take a moment to thank everyone who's supported this project through pre-sales.  I've been pleasantly surprised to see that most of the individuals who initially expressed their interest have already committed to pre-orders via their deposits.  For me, this is definitely a labor of love in service to the community that I'm so proud to be a part of.    

    Very Respectfully,

  8. The factory FN FNC safety trip (auto sear) is different from what S&H arms made for their registered sears. Also, registered receiver guns had an assortment of different geometries too (PHX Arms, Fleming, HardTimes, etc.).  All of this factors into where/how the pocket is cut into the lower. Then you’ll need to weld a trip in the bolt carrier assembly and cut it for “timing”. 
     

    Give me a PM with your contact information and I’ll give you a couple options for sourcing parts
