Hi All,

Newish to the MG world and I was wondering about markings made on conversion Uzis pre May 1986. I notice that on IMI conversions it seems a number of them use the serial number that I assume Action Arms used when imported. "SA........." While some make up their own which is imprinted usually on the left side of the receiver along with the name and location. My questions is: was this simply a choice the person made when converting pre May 1986 or was there a reason one method was chosen over the other?

Almost every conversion I've seen they retain the original serial number. I didn't even know that some people were changing the numbers till I think this past year. I presume to make it look more like a factory SMG since the semi full size UZI's had the SA prefix. Semi Mini's were MC and UZI Pistols were UP.
