  1. Below is a link to my original thread but in short... I’m a manufacturing engineer with access to a wire edm so earlier this year I made exactly 50 Smith & Wesson 76 extractors for members of our Sturm community.  After the initial run sold-out there were a few people who were left empty handed, so I've made a smaller and final batch of 20 for those individuals who have already reached out to me and selling the remainder here.  Cost is $80 each.  These are wire EDM cut A2 hardened “tool steel”.  I made these as a labor of love but honestly, it's a ton of work and I need to focus my energy on my daily business so unfortunately, this is my final batch.

  2. I highly recommend Mike Friend at The Firing Line in Wyandotte, OK (918-666-2788) because he is an SOT specializing in the AK platform.  He does have a long leadtime but it’s well worth it.  He did a Hungarian AK55 for me and that has the threaded barrel too.
     

    As a second option maybe try Adam’s Automatics in Lawton, OK. I don’t know how comfortable he is w/ the AK but he did a really good job recently on an UZI for me

     

    also, since your profile says that you are in Miami, FL you maybe should call Ruben (NFA Dealer . Com) and see if he recommends anyone local to your area.

    Yes I did have to call them because there was a glitch and I couldn’t add to cart so I called during business hours and they guided me through while on the phone until I was able to add to cart for the smg extractors 

    I called them, spoke with a nice gentleman named Tyler who told me that they no longer supports legacy parts for the UZI platform that are pre IWI. The advice was much appreciated and well worth the call to I WI but I struck out and still need a FA extractor

    Hello. Iwi in Middletown, pa. Has uzi smg extractors in stock. 717-695-2081 got 2 of them sent to me for right around $10/each

    Thank you, Bob!  The only ones listed on the IWI website are SA spec. Did you have to call them and if so do you remember who you spoke with?  Again, thank you!  
     

    Aside, I tried to PM you but having a comma in your name was giving me issues since the board allows for comma delimited text.  I think @Buddy H mentioned somewhere.

    From the Smith & Wesson Model 76  book

    see last paragraph

    Magazines

     

    The thirty-six round magazines designed for the S&W 76 submachine gun are very similar to those made for the Suomi and Swedish-K. The magazines were of the proven wedge-shaped, double-stack, double-feed design and very reliable. Original S&W M76 factory magazines were finished with a medium to light gray-green parkerizing. The magazines can be identified by markings on the floorplate, and a vertical groove embossed on each side of the magazine’s body. Original magazines for the Model 76 have far exceeded their original MSRP of $13.35; today the cost of an original magazine will often exceed $100.00 due to their limited numbers. The floorplates of original S&W factory magazine are marked 9MM or 9MM CTG. There are three different style floorplates found on the magazines. The early production floorplates have a short tab to help secure them to the magazine body. The tab can also be used as a screwdriver to disassemble the weapon. A potentially serious problem was revealed when it was discovered that a magazine could accidentally be inserted into the magazine well upside-down, and it would lock in place. The problem could prove fatal in a high-stress police or military situation. The problem was addressed, and quickly solved, by designing a floorplate with a longer front tab, which would block the magazine’s insertion into the magazine well. The newer style floorplates with the longer tab have the 9MM CTG. marking at the front of the floorplate facing forward. The older short-tab style had the same markings, but at the back of the floorplate facing rearward.

     Aftermarket   Magazines  

    Magazines that are very similar to those made by the Smith & Wesson factory were made for the MK 760 and 76A1submachine gun clones. Although very similar to the original magazines, they can be identified by their unmarked floorplates. In addition, the cartridge marking numbers on the back of the magazine body are a different font.

    The cartridge sight holes in original Smith &Wesson magazines are slightly larger at approximately .140-inch versus the hole size in the MK 760  magazine, which is approximately .120-inch 

    Note: it is possible that the floorplates could be installed upside-down in an original S&W factory magazine. In such a case the floorplate markings would not  be visible.

    Another small detail difference between original and aftermarket magazines is the groove that is impressed into the side of the magazine body. On original Smith and Wesson magazines, the groove has a V shape, while on the aftermarket magazines the groove has more of a U shape. The magazine followers are also different.

    Original followers are a sheet metal stamping; aftermarket followers have been observed made of plastic or a metal casting.

    Tolerances in the magazine housings on some Model 76 copies have caused magazine fit and feeding problems by being over or under sized. This problem often results in the magazine being individually fitted to a particular weapon that may not fit or function in another similar gun. The magazine fit is not a problem in original manufacture S&W Model 76 submachine guns using original S&W magazines.     

    A few years ago, a large number of Finnish-made 36-round magazines for the Suomi submachine guns were imported. Many were in new condition. The Finnish magazines are the same style that Smith & Wesson used for their Model 76. The Suomi magazines will fit and function in an S&W Model 76 by removing a slight amount of metal from the surface of the front plate. The Suomi magazines have a blued finish, but many owners like to have their converted magazine parkerized to match the finish on the original magazines.

    Hello, I saw this and know this is really rare. A friend of mine who owns a vector 9mm uzi that I shoot with wants this but is not computer savvy. We are in NH and he is totally a qualified NFA buyer and he really wants this drum. Is it still for sale? Ken Pierce ,Merrimack NH

    PM sent

  8. For sale only to buyers residing in states that allow. Very good to excellent condition  70-round UZI drum made by Vector.  These are rare!  I’ve only ever shot it once because these things are a pain to load, but it sure did shoot well and got plenty of attention.  Pictures shown below are of the mag loaded so you can get an image of just how many rounds actually fit.  I’m firm on price.  Thank you!
