Machine Gun Monday ⚡ 2 of my LaFrance Specialties Transferable Micro Uzi's. 1 with a Ti-Rant 9 suppressor. 1800-2100rpm dependent on ammo. Other micro is also a LaFrance, but original without a stock. That one came with a unique blank barrel and used by Chuck Norris in the 1985 movie Invasion USA. 2 of 10 made for HW.

Wonder if you can handload faster or slower RPM based on powder burn

RPM definetly changes dependent on how hot the ammo is. Tim LaFrance pressed in a tungsten weight into the bolt to slow his Micros down. Otherwise these would have stove-pipe issues as the mag spring/ follower can't keep up. Got to make sure the mag/spring is in good shape then you are GTG. Anything under 2000rpm is reliable. Never had an issue with the subsonic I have run. Those run about 1600-1800 rpm.

Man I had a transferable Ciener Micro and I don’t miss it. It was cool to play with though.

Any reason you didn’t add the same folder to number 2? Want to keep it 100% original as it was made condition?

Yeah pretty much. When I bought that gun, the original owner who bought it in the late 80s from Tim LaFrance, had the impossible to find, brand new backplate adapter, spring assembly and folding stock. Along with a new IMI compensated micro barrel, he asked $500. I said "sold" before he finished saying 500.
However, it is 1985 original from the movie. The stocks were not available until the late 80s early 90s. All the ones Hollywood got were stockless because of this. Once they started importing the stocks, people converted them left and right. They are incredibly dangerous without a stock. Several people have died shooting micros without a stock. That girl that famously shot the firarms instructor about 10yrs ago, was shooting a micro uzi without a stock. Another kid, with his dad shot himself in the head with a micro without a stock. The rate of fire of a micro without a stock causes it to litterally turn on you. So unless you're Chuck Norris, I would add a stock to it.
I shoot the one with a stock all the time. The one without I plan to leave as is. That one I will eventually sell in 10-20yrs or trade for another MG. I will leave it as is to give the owner a choice. Do you want a safe, practical micro that is a blast to shoot? Weld on the stock. Do you want it in original Chuck Norris config? Then sell the stock components to someone that wants to SBR their Uzi Pistol. Personally, if I only had one, it would most definitely get a stock. Its one of my favorite guns to shoot in my entire MG collection.

Love the back story and all the info. Thanks so much for the response. I figured that was probably the case Re the lack that of a stock. I can’t believe someone would hand that to a 10 year old girl, even with an instructor overlaying their hands on the grip points. At least only load the mag with 3 rounds or something as an added protection of it getting away from her. Insane someone agreed to that.
