Congrats!! You will be very happy with a Vector.
According the the seller, this one is a Pre-Vector Group Industires gun.

I think the first Group Industries receiver built into an SMG by Vector is S/N 100082 or something like that.According the the seller, this one is a Pre-Vector Group Industires gun.

As far as .22 conversions go, I actually prefer shooting .22 in my UZI rather than 9mm.
Seems .22 kit problems get discussed more than trunion weld failures. Maybe reporting bias, but don't know.
FYI, neither Group Industries nor Vector built the guns in strict serial number order.As a data point, my GI built Uzi is serial #10033x and was purchased NIB long before Vector bought those receivers at auction.
I'm going to try and slow the RPM down to make the fun between reloading mags last longer....it looks like a part of the aluminum bolt is machined away and a tungsten steel weight, machined to the same size as the aluminum removed, is secured in the area where aluminum was removed.
I suspect the added bolt mass is what slows the RPMs.
BTW, my father is originally from Dover-Foxcroft. Still has family in the area, if I'm not mistaken.
Good choice on selecting an UZI!
If forced to pick only one SMG currently available to regular citizens, it would be the UZI due to it's versatility and iconic status as well as shooting comfort. These days, with all the aftermarket conversions available, most first time MG buyers choose a MAC. But to me, MACs are ghetto and all those conversions make the gun look hokey. I guess if your goal is to just send FA rounds down range in as many different calibers as possible on a budget, then it fits the bill. But growing up in the time of action movies, the UZI was the star of the show in a lot of them and it feels good to channel my inner action hero every time I shoot the same weapons my childhood heroes did.
You're never going to get that kind of satisfaction when shooting a MAC with a conversion.
As far as .22 conversions go, I actually prefer shooting .22 in my UZI rather than 9mm. And if you follow Richards step by step tutorial for tuning a .22 kit, you can get it to work very well. I just wish someone would make a nice, laser cut professional shim set for the extractor. I used an aluminum can and cut shims with shears, which is really ghetto but works.
Op, here is another one on Sturm, comes with every thing in the photos. 16k

Good move passing on it. Buy once cry once.
I wish you were here in Missouri. You could come over and after a couple beers and an hour in the shop we could get that thing running right.there is no force on earth that would get my 22 kit to run in my uzi
I tried literally everything
