Did Vector ever sell semi Uzis with IMI receivers?

Wonder why he did not show Vectors markings.

Anyway, NHM imported those receivers as shown here

He did, right there in the first picture. Pretty good price.

Thanks I was focused on the dual selector markings!

Pretty good price.

I bought one from Vector right after the end of the AWB. They gave you a choice of "Heat treated GI receiver" or "IMI receiver with bayonet lug". I went for the latter because I wanted IMI, but then at some point I got an attachment that used the bayonet lug to mount a very short rail that I had a bipod on for a while. That $1150 is a "pretty good price" is good to know.

As with every firearm project the receiver makes/breaks a project. Can't tell you the amount of time I've spent/wasted on my group UZI trying to get it to run because of receiver issues. The closest I can get to a IMI receiver'd full size vector on the left coast is $1500. I think if this person in VA was willing to deal with state-to-state transfer through FFL he'd have found a home for it already. If you run the math on a McKay build you are flirting with a thousand especially if you have the finish professionally done (which I suck at painting so yeah). Real IMI's are asking north of $1500 (well into the $2k's) these days so yeah if I was in the market for the next best thing to a real IMI(and live in VA) I would jump all over that listing.

Thanks for all the input. I actually wasn't interested in buying it, I was interested in seeing if it was legit. Thanks again!!
