johnp 45 Posted May 29, 2013 Much like the AK thread, I would say this is also legal. It is not titled an Uzi, it passes the evil features game....legal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teky0101 6 Posted May 29, 2013 That's cool! What does that cost? Is it 9mm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donobieus 15 Posted May 29, 2013 Man, that is cool as Hell!! But why would you get the mags pinned to 10rds? Why not 15? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnp 45 Posted May 29, 2013 I wonder if it's okay to put a regular wood stock or a welded open collapsible stock on this? That would look bad ass and hopefully be Jersey legal since you would have 2 features (pistol grip, detachable mag)? You could change the stock if you wanted to. A semi-automatic rifle that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following: This means that if it is a semi-automatic rifle and has a detachable magazine it can have ONE of the following features and still be legal, but if it has two or more, then it would not be legal. 1) A folding or telescoping stock; 2) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; 3) A bayonet mount; 4) A flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; 5) A grenade launcher *Just to add, from my understanding of the law this rifle is legal to own....but even though it is not called an Uzi, it still looks very familiar to one. If you are worried about black helicopters coming for you because of two letters on an AK receiver, I'd be hesitant to take this one out to the range.

vladtepes 1,060 Posted May 29, 2013 while it may technically legal I would be interested to see what FFL will transfer it to you... the term "thumbhole" stock does not exist in NJ... that is a pistol grip IMO... the catch is always going to be guns labeled "type"... AK and AR has always been allowed and accepted... stuff like this... I am less sure of.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hiker88 22 Posted May 29, 2013 I want one... if I get to leave NJ for a more gun friendly state, an uzi type "carbine" is on top of my "buy" list. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vladtepes 1,060 Posted May 30, 2013 Pistol grip and detachable mags are fine, and it meets the NJ AWB requirment and it's not identical to a UZI since it's closed bolt and built to not accept any UZI parts. Barrel is perm. welded to it, you can't put a IMI grip frame on it (different hole size), SMG bolt will not fit, and was never stamped or marketed as an UZI by Norninco. The Vector semi-auto carbine wouldn't be legal even if it was NJ compliant, and the Vector is marketed as being a UZI while the Norinco was not. reread what I wrote.. while it may technically legal I would be interested to see what FFL will transfer it to you... the M1 carbine thing comes to mind... can't have anything even kind of like it.. as silly as that all is..

vladtepes 1,060 Posted May 30, 2013 just curious.. does it shoot well? or just the novelty of having it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnp 45 Posted May 30, 2013 Did a little searching (actually a few hours worth) and found a few folks on AR15.com and other sites who have them in NJ and say these are the only clones they can get transferred. If it comes down to it I might contact one of them and find out who they used for the transfer within NJ. Why wouldn't this one be "legal"? http://www.jgsales.com/uc-9-centurion-9mm-uzi-sub-machinegun-style-rifle-w-fixed-wood-stock.-by-cai-p-6345.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KpdPipes 388 Posted May 30, 2013 Wow!!! That UC-9 looks nice! Even if it has a lug that could be ground off easily. Just trying to find a NJ FFL could be a problem, sure the one in PA is OK with the Norinco but the drive is going to kill my back lol it SHOULD be...but it's also Century..Caveat Emptor..find other people who have had them and shot them and get a read on the general quality before pulling the trigger....CAI has had......."Issues" in the past let's say Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember seeing one of them and it wasnt a Tiny Cant, it was REALLY visible from behind the rear sight I forget how they did it, some were not real bad and easy to correct. Some were 30-40 degrees off and needed the above mentioned work to get them back in-spec. A slight cant isn't a big deal, but when the freakin sight is 30+ degree off you know Century has big QC issues. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally would never buy a gun that was not as close to 100% reliable as possible.. I've shot the Norinco, it's a neat little carbine but welds are sloppy on most I've seen Paul (PK90) said it's a no-go, he would not transfer it. The SW5's are great guns IF you take the time to swap every major part with original HK parts, those original HK parts are $$$ and by the time you swap parts/get it as close as possible to a real-deal original HK94 you have taken a POS and put so much into it you will never get it back out when you resell it. After Sandy Hook people were getting a min. of $1,500 for SW5's!!! These things a worth $800 used IMO and that's pushing it! Found something else instead, ATI MKE 94 in 9mm. Built under license by HK it's as close to a HK 94 as we will ever get in the Garden State, open up the magwell to accept hi-cap mags and get some pinned 15/30 or original HK 15 round MP5 mags for it and I'm all set. Compliant with NJ evil feature count and the same gun as the SW5 (I've seen the SW5's in NJ) only this is made on HK tooling and under license in Turkey. I need to start selling the AK's and AR's to fund other black guns Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
