Have you seen this UZI picture before

[blacktie]

This UZI is listed for sale on Armslist, the seller has been very evasive to provide the serial number or bring to an FFL for evaluation.

I believe it to be just another scam ad but was wondering if anyone has seen this UZI picture posted before for sale or on the forum.

Thanks.....

A reverse search on Tineye shows nothing..... but the added armslist watermark might be throwing off the search results.

I stay away from Armslist, shady characters and no serious overseeing of what goes on.

 

[blacktie]

Agreed, I have flag the post.

A second UZI would have been nice though.

Thanks for looking.

Copy and paste the complete text into google........you'd be surprised what can come up. Also, what I do is ask where it's located and say you're close can I meet you to see the gun. If they respond no I'd be leery.

Too many scammers on Armslist.

No, I haven't seen that pic before.
Ask him for more pics at different angles, if he has it- no problem.

As someone posted on this forum a few years back, ask the seller to take a pic with a piece of paper with your email address on it.

Or another trick is as for today's newspaper in the shot with the gun

I hate to tell you this but not many people subscribe to any newspaper any more. I stopped paying for the Houston Chronicle maybe 15 years ago when I accepted I was paying for advertisements and editorials for liberal city officials. Point is, it would be a valid response to say "I haven't subscribed to the paper since Bush was President!"

For some reason I have been getting free newspapers from a press that is normally subscribed to for months now. I give them to my parents every week.

I think I saw that Uzi on the side if a milk carton before. With all seriousness, I would proceed with caution on Armslist and only deal with someone in state that is willing to meet for a face to face purchase.

If you are interested, just ask for more detailed pictures with a closeup of the inside of the receiver with and without the bolt in place. If he can't provide them in a timely manner, pass.

We have 2 local newspapers, a daily and a weekly. The weekly mainly survives by printing legal notices, and you apparently have to have a minimum subscriber base to qualify a legal ad as a "public notice". My parents subscribed to it starting around 1978 or so, mainly because they knew the old lady that published it. A few years later they dropped it, but it has been delivered every week since! Every year I get a subscription renewal notice from them in their name, never return it, and it keeps coming... It has changed owners at least 4 times since they dropped it.
