Good price on UC9?

[SPARKY42180]

I really like my UC9. However, I am worried i will eventually break a firing pin and not be able to enjoy it.

I have searched high and low for a backup pin with no luck.

I took it to a shop today along with a few other items. They warned me up front that their cash offers were going to be low due to the number of sellers the last few months. He even told me that he expected to buy 40-50 firearms today because that has been the norm lately. He said a lot of people are selling due to financial reasons, but not many buyers.

Anyway, he offered me $650 cash. Is that a fair price?

Cant say if it’s a fair price or not but I hardly ever see them. Whats the difference between a UC9 and a Norinco 320?

I think $650 isn’t a terrible price from a gun dealer, but I’m sure you could get quite a bit more selling it yourself with so few options out there these days.

that is a horrible price, just shoot it and don't worry about the firing pin breaking as it rarely happens. Also spares are available if you are really worried https://products.mckay-ent.com/mckay-parts/mckay-uzi-5680/uzi-bolt-firing-pin-3392066

Will that work for a UC9? My understanding is that the firing pins for an UC9 are different than standard pins.

Not a decent price.
You could part it out and double your money.

Take you FP to a local shop and find out if they still have a old timer and a manual lathe.
Then ask him if he would be willing do make a few and if so how much.
I would offer but I still need to level both my lathes after our move.
If I get them leveled anytime soon I'll let you know.
Kinda not a priority at the moment though.
