Well here's the deal...
I think it takes too much time to make these and I don't think people would be willing to pay for it. I think most people want to pay like $50 (I don't make Picatinny Rails and they are not cheap). My materials alone cost more than $50. I'm using up about 12' of rail for each Rail System. I'm thinking it would be at LEAST $250 maybe $260 delivered to do it IN QUANTITY. I would not even consider doing just 1 or 2. To really ramp up to do these, we would have to make a jig of some sorts. That takes time and money too. Someone with access to better resources than I could maybe make these into a casting which would most likely be a lot cheaper. I did my Docter Optics ready topcovers and they sell but not as good as I thought they would. I pay $50 for the NEW ratcheting topcovers. Then include shipping for $180 delivered. Minus say $10 shipping. That's $120 to get a certified welder to weld the thing, make the mount on a Mill, drill/Tap, sandblast and parkerize. I don't know about you but $120 to do all that is DAMN CHEAP. That all takes equipment and TIME. The sandblasting is the most annoying and time consuming as that New IMI finish is tough to get off. Now regarding the rails. The trick of course is how to mount the rails to the bayonet lug and still make it solid. Because of the dimensional differences between Vector and IMI's, I plan on relying on just the grip screw holes. My first prototype was made from aluminum which is very solid and nice but it doesn't fit my friend's Vector. To make it work for both, I plan on using a STEEL bottom rail and aluminum side rails. There is a LOT of mill work involved. Milling of aluminum, steel and stainless steel. This is not something you can just whip up with a Dremel. Then since they will all be machined and down to bare metal, I would sandblast and molycoat all of them. I think I may sell some of the rails but I really don't know how much people are willing to pay. As of right now, I'm not too skeptical about the market for them. What do you guys think? Thanks...
Update 6/6/03. I also posted this onUzitalkas well.
Bad news, I miscalculated the amount of rail that I will need for each gun in my mind. Here are the actual specs:
Left rail: 3.5' long
Right rail: 4.5' long Bottom rail: 4.5' long
I was thinking that I could use one 12' rail per gun. That is out the window. Also since we are talking about cutting up a picatinny rail, it is inevitable that you will be wasting material everytime you cut it because of the 'sections'.
What further complicates this is that for increased strength, I plan on using steel for the bottom rail and aluminum for the sides. So now I'm thinking it would be like $280 delivered. I just ordered a steel rail yesterday and should have it next week to play with. It looks like I'll be making another prototype but this time I'm going to try to make sure it is a snug fit for both IMI and Vector. Once I am done, I will contact the manufacturers of both the aluminum and steel picatinny rails to see if I can get a break on the pricing so it may actually go down... I'll keep you guys posted.
This is an UZI SMG top cover with a 3″ long steel Picatinny rail permanently installed. The assembly is then re-parkerized to like new condition. This top cover is perfect for mounting most red dot sights on your UZI. This to cover mount fits a full sized UZI not a Mini UZI or a MICRO UZI. It will fit either IMI or Vector Uzis. You can order this top cover mount set up for full auto or semi auto full sized Uzis. We can also finish them in Uzi Black to match your Uzi.
Customer Note: When installing a top cover some adjustment to the top cover may be required so the top cover latches in place with the correct top cover to bolt gap. The gap should be between .005″-.015″. There is a good tutorial in the UziTalk library on adjusting the top cover.
