Subject: Uzi Problems Sun 09 Dec 2007, 6:56 pm

Hey guys i was taking apart my uzi to clean it the guy that we got it from had used engin grease for a lub he had super glued one of thoes rubber rings to the piston and glued the spring to the piston and glued the piston so it is only one piece. So i need a new piston, where could i find one?

So wait, let me get this straight. He super glued the piston, piston head, piston O-ring and the spring together? Are you sure that it is not the same as all other stock TM's and the piston head and spring are all one? And are you sure that its super glued and does not just have locktight on it?

Essentially, no I have no idea where you can get one, as I think the V5 has internals all specific to itself. You basically have the least upgrade/replaceable gun on the market congrats. Watch the forums (ASC) or check google to see if an overseas or US company has any. But be prepared to pay an arm and a leg for them.

Why do you need to replace it?

Oh boy.. Who ever did wasn't using the right tool. That uzi is one of a kind if you're lucky you can try using aftermarket part Piston, take a picture and show it to me then I can possible say yes or no if you can use aftermarket one.

Are the parts salvageable? or are they completely hooped?

is the piston wrecked. TM springs are hooked into the piston head usually, you have to twist the piston head off carefully using plyers and a cloth. I've had to dig into the piston head to reveal the screw a few times and that's all it might be.

How do you know it's super glued?

There are a few kinds of grease that are yellowish that are used. My echo 1 didn't have much grease but it was the same colour as motor oil just thicker and not clear.

Avril if I were you I would sell this gun and get into the JG or echo-1 word. You can get an MP5-PDW (V3 gearbox so no weather worries) for under $300 right now. If they break they are easy and cheap to fix.

Get someone who is verified to get one off of ASC.

There are also Commando's, M4's and G36c's for around $350
