There are different stocks available for the Uzi proper.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Gaboury|first1=David|title=The UZI Submachine Gun Examined|date=3 July 2017|publisher=Andrew Mowbray Publishing, Inc.|isbn=978-1931464765|page=234}}</ref> There is a wooden stock with a metal buttplate that comes in three similar variations that were used by the IDF. The first version had a flat butt and straight [[Stock (firearms)#Comb|comb]] and had hollows for a cleaning rod and gun oil bottle. The second had an angled butt and a straight comb and no hollows. The third had an angled butt and curved comb and no hollows; a polymer version is currently available from IMI. The wooden stocks originally had a quick-release base but the ones sold in the United States often had a permanent base for legal reasons, as detachable stocks on pistols or other short-barreled weapons upgrade the weapon to [[National Firearms Act|NFA]] status.<ref>{{cite web |title=UZI Talk - FAQ |url=https://www.uzitalk.com/reference/pages/FAQ.htm#Barrel%20and%20stock |website=www.uzitalk.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=If a person has a pistol and an attachable shoulder stock, does this constitute possession of an NFA firearm? {{!}} Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives |url=https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/if-person-has-pistol-and-attachable-shoulder-stock-does-constitute-possession-nfa |website=www.atf.gov}}</ref>

Choate made an aftermarket polymer stock with a rubber butt-pad that had a flat butt, a straight comb, and a permanent base.

In 1956,<ref>{{cite book|last1=Gaboury|first1=David|title=The UZI Submachine Gun Examined|date=3 July 2017|publisher=Andrew Mowbray Publishing, Inc.|isbn=978-1931464765|page=40}}</ref> IMI developed a downward-folding twin-strut metal stock with two swivelling sections that tuck under the rear of the receiver. The Mini Uzi has a forward-folding single-strut metal stock that is actually an inch longer than the Uzi's. Its buttplate can be used as a foregrip when stowed. The Micro Uzi has a similar model.
