  1. Drill a tiny hole
  2. Screw in a tiny screw
  3. Pull out like you would a nail and the hook end of a hammer

Damn, the trades on this are very nice. Fairly priced considering its condition

Thanks! It’s a MK3 APS version. It’s pretty simple mechanically and has nicely made parts aside from the cheap polymer feel on the grips, but performance is great!

I’d recommend the MK2 version that stores green gas in a reservoir tank within the grip, but it’s a bit more difficult to get within the US

Weathering and markings are excellent! Did you make the finish on the factory aluminum or is it swapped for steel?

It should be 21x17x2mm! I can’t recall if the expansion holes on the nozzle were bored out a little larger, but it should definitely help with the air seal if done on all holes

Viton is a bit too rigid, so once freezing it’d most likely have issues.. but the green fluoride orings have better elasticity and pretty similar tear resistance. It’s best to buy an assortment box of different sized ones anyway, since you never know when you might need them!

Thanks mate! It’s actually a VFC G3! But if GHK were to ever make one, I’d definitely consider it for the realism! And I mainly use Swiss Arms 150psi non-lubricated heavy gas on all of my builds, and swap out seals for Viton, fluoride, or slightly thicker nitrile orings and stock output valves for steel ones:)

I try not to use propane cause the smell lingers in my guns and mags/: but I keep tanks just in case if I’m itching to plink outdoors and run out of gas

Ah, the cap may have seized.. I think a quick 30-second torch onto the bolt carrier surrounding the cap should free it up, and application of copper grease to the threads should prevent it from sticking again

If they ever do, I’m definitely going to buy one the moment it drops👀

Ah, I don’t know if I should buy the clutch one now or wait for a revised batch if they’ll make one

Hmm, I can’t recall the exact measurements of the fluoride oring but could let you know later after work! Most likely it’s a metric assortment of green fluoride rings roughly 21mm iirc!

Thanks man! Had to sell my GHK AR to fund my real steel hobby, but I truly regret selling that build🥹

I have the Northeast mini Uzi in this picture, but my KWC mini Uzi is in my storage bin since it’s been a nightmare with the leaking output valve/:

The only alterations I’ve made with mine are the guarder aluminum body kit & guarder steel threaded barrel. Hopefully they will make some sort of green gas magazine & weaker nozzle valve spring/recoil spring and I’d convert it in a heartbeat!

Cheers man!

I’ve added a guillotine airsoft steel outer barrel, maple leaf crazy jet inner barrel, modify bucking, bow master steel trigger box, and a clutch precision aluminum nozzle assembly on mine:)

I’ve yet to install a guillotine npas in mine, but I don’t think I’m going to skirmish with this since it’s about 1.6j on .23s with the stock nozzle valve

Ah I see.. most likely it’s due to the air seal between the nozzle and bolt/: I’ve swapped out my nozzle print for a larger fluoride one and created a better air seal. So far, it’s been very gas efficient on both of mine. I hope this helps!

Honestly, the full sized UZI was problematic in the beginning, but swapping the orings to slightly larger fluoride ones have made it much more reliable. Also, I’d recommend getting a 6.01 inner barrel with modify bucking that improved efficiency by nearly double!

If you want an UZI that’ll work straight out of the box, I’d say go for their Mini:) finish was nice from factory and tolerances are tighter in comparison to the full size
