Long shot I know but is anyone making Uzi Grease gun lowers anymore?

^^^^^^
WoW ^^^^^^^ very awesome indeed, so are you making them, selling them, or more likely cockteasing them to us? Ha!
Ha a little of both. Yes I designed and built both 9mm and 45 acp drums. The 45acp drum is very hard to build correctly.

I just retired and will be selling some in the future.

Still having fun right now.

The 45 acp ones will probably be the last to go.

FWIW, I believe that BRP may still make M3 submachine gun (aka "Grease Gun") feed tower 50 round, .45 ACP drums (reworked Suomi 9mm, 72 round drums) as a custom order. The last cost that I recall seeing was $500 each.

For greater than 22 round .45 ACP Uzi use, I'm still thinking that a ProMag 40 round, .45 ACP drum with an Uzi mag tower (reworked ProMag .45 ACP stick mag) would be the easiest to make, lowest cost alternative; and no special grip or grip change required.

MHO, YMMV, etc.

Suomi drums are too short and too small.

Just called BRP. They do not produce 45 acp drums for any gun. Only Suomi 9mm for Stemple.

Thanks for the updates. I suspect that the .45 ACP drum market is now dominated by ProMag.

Yeah, now that I think about it, the drum that I'm misremembering was probably a Thompson 50 round drum with a Grease Gun stick mag stub with relocated mag catch slot feed tower.
Thanks for the updates.
