UZI Bolt Info

SMG top, semi bottom. Notice the difference in the ejection ports. The SMG has more rearward travel. It also
does not have an extra spring (striker spring) like the semi. The port has been moved to the rear and flared to
help with ejection. The original bolt feet will have to be moved and clearance added to the bolt for the different
travel.

Left side. The striker bar clearance needs to be cut.

There isn't much playing room if you get the firing pin hole off, the dimension shown is just a quick
measurement. Be careful and do some dimension checking on your end. Also note the relief in the rear of the
SMG bolt. The SMG bolt has more rearward travel than the semi, the relief is for the stock nut. The striker
dimensions will need to be altered because of this, or this area built up.

If using the hooded semi feed ramp, the bolt will need some clearance.

Here's the semi bolt with striker and buffer.

There's a difference in semi bolts also. Model A and Model B. Model B's use a firing pin safety. All Mini bolts
use this also. This prevents full forward travel of the striker until the bolt is closed. It pivots off of the extractor
pin and the timing is controlled by the ejector.
Model A left, Model B right.

The ejector and safety relationship.

As the bolt passes over the ejector, it pivots. The "tail" on the rear lifts up and will allow the striker to travel
fully forward.

Safety latch removed.

Safety latch cut in bolt.

The SMG ejector will need to be modified for semi auto use. The ejector on the right is an SMG ejector. I've
already cut the rear clearance on this one, so don't let the picture throw you off. The angle cut is next.
