Built by Israeli Military Industries, this UZI Semi-Automatic Carbine Model B is a closed-bolt, simple blowback design with a floating firing pin/striker and the UZI’s telescoping-bolt layout. The compact receiver is stamped steel with a black enamel-over-phosphate finish, paired with a ribbed black polymer fore-end and a black polymer pistol grip with integral grip safety.
The carbine-length 16 in barrel is secured by the classic knurled UZI barrel nut. Twist rate is 1:10 RH. The top-mounted charging handle and the manual safety/selector with grip safety provide the familiar Model B manual of arms. Capacity is 25+1 with the included magazine.
Model B sights include a protected front post adjustable for elevation and a rear peep/aperture with a windage drum marked L↔R and a 100 m/200 m flip. This example carries the Action Arms, Ltd., Philadelphia, PA import mark. Overall length is approximately 31.5 in with the stock extended and 24.0 in folded; weight is approximately 8.4 lb.
As a pre-ban Action Arms import (Model B imported 1983–1989; U.S. importation ceased in 1989), this carbine represents the classic civilian UZI configuration from the 1980s. The underfolding steel stock, compact receiver design, and durable finish complete a configuration sought after by enthusiasts of the platform.
