Does anyone have any suggestions for mounting a red dot on an UZI carbine? Preferably something that will not damage or ruin the value.

I bought a surplus top cover for mine and then pop riveted/JB welded a piece of weaver rail to it. You have to put a spacer under it to raise it up so the cocking handle plate doesn't hit it under recoil. I used a piece of bar stock for my riser. I also had to cut a slot in the weaver rail to fit the particular red dot I was using. I had If I was to do it again I would use a pictinnny rail instead but those weren't readily available back in the day.
I think the better way would be to weld the spacer to the top plate and then drill and tap holes to secure the rail. I didn't have the ability to do that at the time.
Here is a rail you can put on your top cover. I suggest buying an extra top cover to mount it.

There are top cover's available with rails already mounted but they are $100+

buy a new top cover, put the numbers matching one, or just matching finish one in a box, take it to a smith and get the appropriate mount mounted.
Rock on like 1980s action hero, but with a red dot.
How long is the barrel? I have a mac 10 with m4 handguards and a rail in the top. Works great.
