Since taking ownership of the KWC Mini UZI it has shot to the top of my list of favourite replicas. I haven't been able to put it down since it arrived.
How could one possibly go about improving it? There is a distinct lack of silencer or any kind of thread on the original to add one, and I feel a chunky suppressor adds to overall looks of the UZI! Quick Google and I eventually came across the Guarder steel threaded outer barrel for KWC/WA Mini Uzi. www.fire-support.co.uk/product/guarder-steel-threaded-outer-barrel-for-wakwc-mini-uzi-gbb.
It's not cheap at £50 but as I had paid a lot less for the gun that anticipated I decided to take a punt on it.
It arrived today, a very well made piece of kit. In the packaging you get the outer steel barrel, a plastic grommet to retain the barrel spring and a threaded cap to finish off the looks when nothing is fitted to the male 14mm CCW end. (original bottom, Guarder top)
Installation is easy, put the plastic grommet into the grooves on the barrel and remove the spring from the original and add to the new barrel. It has a groove down the length of section that goes first into the UZI housing like the original so it can only be installed one way (groove facing up/top of UZI). Once in place, add the original barrel retaining bolt back on, then fit the supplied threaded cap.
Rock solid, and ready to add some accessories! 😎
A bit pricey but a very well made item, would highly recommend.
