    I recently finished a job for a customer and took a new in box, unfired Vector Uzi 9mm carbine in trade for labor. He included 12 25rd IMI magazines.
    Anybody know anything about these things? Are they junk or decent quality? What is it worth in the current market?
    Thanks for any insight anybody may have. Trying to get a feel for things before dumping it on gun broker.

    Not sure about the semi's but they started with the Group Industries transferable receivers from the auction of Group. They finished them with South African kits (~90% of the parts). There were some issues with the FA guns breaking welds on the trunions and a few reported issues with a slight twist in the receiver. I think the semi's came out some time later in production or close to the end of completing the FA guns. They had trouble sourcing the original parts. You should be able to get good money on GB.
    I think Ralph is in jail now.
     
    I had one of the full auto Vectors.
    They had a few guns that had the trunion welds break. Mine was one of them. They fixed it under warranty.
    Other than that, it was a great gun. Only sold it because prices got to where it was worth way more to someone else than it was to me.
    I’m sure that the semi guns are quality, too.
