~ A Post 1956 Folding Stock Israeli UZI Sub-machine gun – deactivated ~

The Uzi is a family of Israeli open-bolt, blowback-operated submachine guns. The Uzi was one of the first weapons to use a telescoping bolt design which allows the magazine to be housed in the pistol grip for a shorter weapon.

The first Uzi submachine gun was designed by Major Uziel “Uzi” Gal in the late 1940s shortly after the establishment of the State of Israel. The prototype was finished in 1950. First introduced to Israel Defense Forces (IDF) special forces in 1954, the weapon was placed into general issue two years later. The IDF supplied Uzis to rear-echelon troops, officers, artillery troops and tankers, as well as a frontline weapon by elite light infantry assault forces.

Our example is a post-1956 folding metal stock example serial numbered 075620 and bearing Israeli markings.

The piece comes with its 25 Round magazine and is partially strippable, as per the images.
