Cleaning, Shooting, Maintenance & Operation




The instruction manual for the IMI UZI 9mm carbine is almost impossible to find. Neither UZI America nor Mossberg have manuals available for sale. Therefore, in the overriding interest of gun safety, you can download a PDF version of the manual. Should the fine people at UZI America or Mossberg have any objections to a copy of this manual being available for download, please contact David Levy at Software Maintenance, Inc.

Shooting:



The Uzi Carbine shoots best when it is held in a five point system:

1) One hand on the fore-end.

2) One hand on the pistol grip.

3) Your cheek firmly placed against the extended stock.

4) Pull your elbows down and in.

5) Fore-end gripping forearm pressed against the bottom of the magazine.
