So a couple months back I picked up a practically brand new IMI Uzi Model 45 in .45acp with a 9mm conversion kit for $1k. See thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=441701
Well about two weeks ago another Uzi came into my possession. This time it’s an IMI Uzi Model B with a .45acp conversion kit! Again the gun looks unfired, about as close to 100% mint condition as you can get. Both the gun and the conversion kit came in plastic hard cases. It also came with the manual in original plastic slip case, all original accessories, barrel shroud and the barrel is still wrapped in the original protective paper. The gun came with three 25 round and two 32 round 9mm mags, all IMI. Included with the .45 kit were two 16 round mags, one of the still brand new in the box!
The total package for the rifle along with the .45 conversion kit came to $1700.
However here’s where I made off like a bandit!
Considering I now had a Model 45 with a 9mm conversion kit and an Model B with .45 conversion kit I no longer needed either conversion kit. So I sold the .45 kit with no mags on gunbroker for $330 and I sold the 9mm conversion kit on gunbroker as well for $300.
So in the end I ended up with two Uzi’s for about a $1k each, not too shabby in my opinion, especially considering the condition they’re in and all the accessories and mags I have for each.
I took the new Uzi out to the range yesterday and put 150 rounds of Brown Bear through it and had no issues at all. Granted Uzi’s may not be the most practical guns in the world, but the are just so cool and so much fun to shoot I figured why not have two!
As always here are some pics of my new toy!
