Uzi pistol build questions...

[Rom 99.1]

I have a 10 inch IMI chrome lined barrel that was made up for a SBR project that was abandoned...it was a Model B semi auto barrel...so fit's the standard semi auto carbine receiver...also have a complete IMI Model B semi auto bolt and firing assembly...left over from a Class 3 registered bolt conversion of a Model B carbine...
So, my question is...Is all I have to do to build a pistol with these parts is to get a complete semi auto receiver and lower from Vector or D&D?...a new receiver,(never been built up), get my FFL to transfer it as a pistol, have him weld something on the back to prevent mounting a stock... and drop the bolt and barrel in?...Am I missing something?, but this sounds like all I would have to do. Semi auto receivers are what $295...? and a lower...not too much I bet...and grips...I have an extra barrel nut...What am I missing here?
Any imput would be very welcome...I have never built anything...but have really admired you guys AK pistol builds...
Thanks,
Chris.

I'll admit I'm in the dark on this Uzi build thing as you are. :letssee:
Droog may have some insight on this.

Chris, you can do it as you describe. you have the bolt, barrel, barrel nut, and striker assembly so you need the receiver, grip frame complete, handguard, top cover complete, and sights. If you buy the semi receiver and semi parts it simply drops together. For a quick easy way with no headaches that is the way to go. There are cheaper ways to do it but it gets more complicated the more you try to save. I have a mini uzi pistol that I have less than a hundred bucks into but it required lots of fabrication.

Hey, thanks for your reply...did the math, and don't think i can beat Vectors price on the full size pistol...unless I could find much cheaper parts...unlikely...and mini looks so much better, not even sure i'd like a full size one after seeing the mini...way cool.
Thanks again for your advice.
Chris.

Here are the carbine and mini I just built on Group Industries receivers.
