Made by Israeli Military Industries in the 1980s, this Model B UZI Carbine is chambered in 9mm Luger and uses a blowback, closed-bolt, striker-fired action. The 16.1-inch barrel and 32+1 capacity make it a classic semi-auto carbine configuration from this era.
The receiver is marked in the factory export style "UZI semi auto / 9mm PARA / IMI-ISRAEL" with no U.S. importer stamp observed. This indicates it was produced as an export model for non-U.S. markets and later imported or brought back into the United States, adding clear, verifiable provenance. The receiver is stamped steel, and the top-cover carries the safety warning stamp.
Model B upgrades include a firing pin safety and revised sighting system. Sights consist of an elevation-adjustable front post and a flip L-aperture rear with windage adjustment and 100/200 m settings, offering practical, field-ready adjustments consistent with Model B improvements.
The folding steel stock provides a 15.3-inch length of pull when extended and an 8.5-inch LOP when folded, aiding storage and transport. Ribbed polymer pistol-grip panels and a ribbed polymer foregrip deliver a secure hold and are correct for the pattern. This carbine comes with three 32-round magazines and one 25-round magazine.
