I did some test firing. A few times I wanted to eject a live round and I found that I couldn*t. I had to shoot the gun to clear it. I had this issue before with my AR9. My 147gr reloads were engaging the rifling in the AR9 barrel when chambered so I couldn*t eject the rounds by cycling the BCG. The Uzi had the same issue. Luckily I still had the 9mm throat reamer I used on the AR9, and I just took care of that problem with a few twists of it in the Uzi barrel chamber. My reloads work fine in everything else: a variety of handguns, MP5, another AR9 barrel I have, so I guess that one AR9 barrel and this Uzi barrel were made with a short throat lead in. Not any more!
