A quick sell for the gun at $1000.00 and you could possibly get as much as $1400.00 if you're not in a hurry and find the right buyer. You can find much Uzi info at www.uzitalk.com

Figuring how desirable the UZI soft case is, it could alone bring $75.00.
The value of mags you have and the fact it is an "A" model, "SHOULD" make the gun a sure bet at the $1400 figure.
BUT, depends on how quick you want to move it and finding a ready buyer.
Considering the incredible price increase of the UZI SMG, I myself
feel that the "Upside" potential for your gun (considering the pluses)
make it "Under-Priced" at $1400 and I sure wouldn't part with mine for that.

Incase you didn't know ,model A is more desirable because a model B has a block welded in so you can't go full auto ,while a model A can be converted
so stick to the high price you will get it
yep its me ,same one for 4 years now0 -
Wrong, The Model B can eaisly be converted to full auto with a slotted registeried bolt and addl. modification to the lower.

you say so

The Model B gun was made to correct a safety issue found in the Model A. The Model A Gun will fire "Out of Battery." This means if you pull the trigger while the bolt is going forward in the process of chambering a round, pulling the trigger will release the firing pin and it will strike the cartridge.......whether or not the bolt is closed! Not a Good Thing.
The Model B has a simple little "trip lever" added on the bottom of the Bolt which extends backwards and prevents the "striker/firing pin" assembly from going forward far enough to impact the primer of a cartridge being chambered. When the bolt if far enough forward to be fully closed, this trip lever rides over the back edge of the ejector and is moved "out of the way" which will then allow the striker/firing pin assembly to strike the primer and fire the cartridge. This modification stopped the possibility of the gun firing "out of battery." The sights were changed from the original SMG configuration to make it easier for a "lay person" to effectively use this semi-auto version of the Original UZI Sub Machine Gun.
Regarding the Model A being more readily converted to a "full auto" gun, with the exception of a minor modification in the manufacturing process, (welding of the receiver), shortly after this "New" Semi Auto version of the SMG was developed for sale in 1980, there is basically no appreciable difference between the Model A and the Model B. Either can be converted to full auto in any of the several different manners in which they were converted legally in the early 80's before such conversions became illegal. None of these methods deserve being outlined as all of them would be illegal at this point in time. You cannot legally convert a Model A or Model B, (or a "Mini") Uzi to full auto.......no one can! This means if you want a Full Auto UZI, you will have to purchase one complying with all BATF Class III or other Class restrictions and rules, regulations, and laws.....!
Much has been said, and written, over the years, about "Converting the UZI!" Much of this is "false information" and entirely cost prohibitive, unpractical, and even not possible, to accomplish. This means that "WRONG" information is being expounded all the time. Too Bad, as it is totally irrelevant to the UZI given the present status of same as defined by the BATF.
Don't mean to get on anyone here or to make anyone upset, but "WRONG" information can be hurtful and someone might get injured because of it. If in doubt, there are many Great Publications out there that has the "RIGHT" information in them........spend the few bucks to be sure!

You have it correct about no more machine guns being made ,after 1986 ,this is the reason for their outrageous prices
But back to the A and B models
Just because a person can't make a uzi full auto does not mean that it is not a good selling point ,dealers use it all the time, and the model A can be made full auto with far less work than a model B
The model B has a welded piece of metal in it to keep a full auto bolt from sliding in ,while a person might be able to make a B full auto it would require extensive machine work , you can make any semi-auto full auto if you tried hard enough
And if they are so much alike and there is no difference ,why did they make a model B {just to change the sights????},and how many here has broke down both model A and model B and can clearly state the difference???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
yep its me ,same one for 4 years now0 -
Apparently it's not enough to be specific, but I think your "information" is very incorrect!
Both Models of these gun are identical except for the sight differences and the "Trip Lever" that was added to the bolt of the Model B to make it incapable of firing out of battery! The Model A had a fixed rear sight and an adjustable front sight that would allow "windage" and "elevation" while the Model B has a front sight that only allows for "elevation." The Rear Sight on a Model B is where you adjust for "windage."
Now that is cleared up....let me say something here about having disassembled and looked at both models....... I have owned several of the Model B's and Model A's. I Have a "New in the Box" Model A made by IMI at Auction as I write this..... Do a Search and You will find it on Gunbroker.
Vector Arms in North Salt Lake, Utah, is only a 15 minute drive from me. My Friend is the Production Manager there and I have spent considerable time at their Factory. I have extensive experience with the IMI Guns, Group Industries Guns, and Vector's Full Auto Carbine and their "Mini UZI" ........ So, Trust ME! I Know what I'm talking about.
Oh Yes, the "piece welded into the gun" is the protrusion guide that is at the rear right side of the receiver in BOTH the Model A and the Model B, that allows the "Notched Bolt" of the Semi Auto to ride fully to the rear..... Both guns have the same thing.......Not just the Model B. Take my word...... you won't go wrong if you do!!!!

yup... Ranchero is correct, many people that don't know much about the Uzi think the model A is "easier" to convert to FA... very untrue, just a rumor.
