A little Uzi retro

[koldt]

Going through some boxes of crap, I "re-discovered" this weapon mount light for the Uzi SMG. I picked it up in the '80s and remember seeing a few of these around, and therefore figure it was more than just a one off unit. The IDF probably contracted someone to make 'em.

This one does still work, despite the crude looks. 4 "C" batteries and squeeze the grip after turning on the switch.

Pretty high tech, for 1971.

And along side the latest/greatest Surefire, Vampire. This is the combination 110 lumen white light with a excellent IR light with the twist of the head. Great piece of kit.

Impromptu club as well, I guess?

Looks like an anti-aircraft searchlight

Must double the weight of that uzi. Grip gives you something to hang onto, anyway.

Caution....forward balance....reduces muzzle jump I'm sure though...LOL

That must be a real old one!
Standard IMI manufacture lamp usually has a trigger switch, and engages on the bayonet lug.
Did you manage to get the dated canvas carry case?

At auction the shoulder pad as you have, can get higher bids than the light!

Really like the IMI hebrew marked lower, and that A1 grip on the AR.
Great choices :]

Thanks very much for showing those photos
