Uzi Top Cover

MP2 Uzi Top Cover

This is a top cover for the full-size Uzi submachine gun, procured as a spare part for the German Army, where the Uzi served under the designation MP2. The top cover closes the top of the receiver and carries the cocking assembly, so it is the part you replace when the original is damaged, missing or worn out on a build or display gun. It suits Uzi owners, restorers and collectors of Bundeswehr small arms who want an authentic issued part.

Features

• Fits Full-Size Uzi — Made for the standard full-size Uzi receiver, not the shorter Mini or Micro variants.
• German Army MP2 Spare — Supplied as a replacement part for the Bundeswehr's MP2, the German service designation for the Uzi.
• Top-Mounted Cocking Knob — A knurled knob rides on top of the cover, giving a grippy surface to pull the bolt back with either hand.
• Ratcheting Bolt Safety — A toothed ratchet strip under the cover catches the cocking slide, so a dropped gun cannot let the bolt close part way and fire.
• Spring-Loaded Slide — A coil spring returns the cocking slide forward after you rack the bolt, as visible on the underside.
• Open-Bolt Design — The Uzi fires from an open bolt, meaning the bolt rests to the rear until the trigger releases it, which keeps the cover and cocking parts simple to strip and refit.
• Ribbed Pressed-Metal Body — Stamped sheet metal with long pressed ribs along its length adds stiffness without extra weight.
• Black Finish — A plain black finish matches the rest of the standard Uzi receiver.

Bundeswehr Issue

The Bundeswehr adopted the Uzi in 1959 as the MP2. Early guns came from Israel Military Industries (IMI) under German military contracts, and Rheinmetall later produced them for the West German armed forces. Spare top covers like this one were built to the same service pattern as the guns themselves, which is why issued parts are preferred by restorers and collectors over generic aftermarket covers.
