UZI Talk Supporter
Sorry for this off the wall post, i normally dont post unless i have something semi constructive to say. Unforunately many of my friends are liberal, at least in view of guns and they just dont appreciate the fact that i just order a BRAND NEW IN THE BOX VECTOR FULL SIZED UZI!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely HAD to tell someone and the guys on this forum are probably the only ones that will understand.
Of course i kicked this around before the Vector self imposed crisis, but my dealer said he didnt think there would be an issue until mid year...so i decided to wait until after Christmas. Best price i had then was 2900, unforunately it was from a private party and would have to pay two transfer taxes. After the first and the announcement by Vector...i mailed several people on line and placed a WTB note on several boards. Talk about a variation. On guy had two NIB full sized....for 5500 a piece, 10000 for both. Found one from a dealer in Florida, 3750 plus shipping cost. He had a check in his hand two days later. Of course, using hindsite, if you find something you want, buy it dont wait. On the other side of the coin, got mine ordered, while i would have loved to save 850 dollars, such is life...it wont make me eat dog food....just feel grateful i can semi afford it and that Nevada is fairly gun liberal (although if all the Californian's keep moving here, that could change quickly.
So much for my rambling, did have a question, gunsmith friend of mine said that he fed his S & B ammo without a hitch, wondering whatever one else feeds theirs. One other thing, i understand the concept, Vector bought up the pre 86 receivers...but where do the parts come from that make up the rest of the gun? How, other than heat treated receiver does it vary from a IMI Uzi?
Again, thanks for listening to me ramble guys!!!
