I think I should clarify. I wanted to build an SMG, and there are plenty of free plans for them out there. I haven't seen any free plans for Uzis. According to several of them, the metal for a Sten is ~$100-$150. An Uzi seems like it would cost me more. Thus, I was wondering if it would be possible to convert the Sten plans to a grip-feed system to save space. The point of the wooden mockup would be to practice the cuts and ensure it fits together. No mixing parts, etc.

Thanks for pointing out the import problem.
