The last piece of the Uzi puzzle is the grips. All of the grips that came with my parts kit were pretty beat up, and I didn't want to put well used grips on my practically new gun. You'll remember a while back, I 3D scanned and printed the front grips because I couldn't find new ones for a price I wanted to pay. After a few more tweaks I reprinted them in black to use as my final parts. I also hit them with scotch-brite to knock just a little bit of the shine off. I'm still not completely satisfied with the right grip and may rescan and reprint when I have the time/motivation.
The pistol grips are a different matter though, and are easy to find. I got a pair of genuine IMI grips still in the package from 1965. According to the tag, these were from the German market. I still find it incredibly ironic that the Germans of all people adopted a Jewish weapon for their defense forced.
