I own some AR's and AK's. I don't know what it is, but I've been fixated on getting an Uzi. This goes back years. I've read through a lot of info including the links on the home page here. I've only had a chance to shoot an Uzi on two occasions (semi). I'm looking at a Pre-ban semi-auto Model A in 9mm. The price is reasonable for what they are going for, but I have a few questions:
1) I understand that the 10" barrel goes better with the Model A sights because this is what the 'original' SMG used. Is it common for most people to register the gun as a SBR and use the shorter barrel? Are the barrels themselves easy to get?
2) Is there any significant difference in quality between a Model A and a Model B, especially if I do #1? I've read through the differences, but I just want to make sure I'm not missing something.
Though I can legally purchase firearms, I am still months away from getting a Green Card. Even in NH, I don't think that I'll get the CLEO to sign off on a full-auto Uzi as a non-citizen. That is why I'm going for the semi-auto (The few extra thousand dollars is also an impediment!). I think I'll have better luck on registering a SBR. If not, it can wait.
When you're trying to learn about a new firearm, it's like drinking from a firehydrant. Any ideas/comments welcome.
