Thinking about selling the Uzi...

Mike OTDP · Oct 8, 2020

About four years ago, I picked up a Group Industries Uzi for a "reasonable" price. But it's been a total safe queen...I live in Deep Southern Maryland, there's no place to shoot the blasted thing. And I'm tempted to sell it, try to put the money into something I'd be more able to shoot.

So...sell? Wait six months and sell? Keep? Put on MD Shooters, since it's on a Form 4?

If you're going to sell it, sell it now while it's a seller's market

Value?

I don't think that is the same for NFA stuff right now. Its good for glocks and AR's but NFA items have remained pretty much the same

I just bought a Mp28 so im sorta tapped right now but if you were willing to make trades for it , I have a ton of great stuff that you would actually be able to shoot.

If anything, MGs have declined in value. Prices a year ago were a good 10% higher.

I am willing to bet that a friend of mine would make some time in his schedule to let you shoot it at his house in central Calvert as long as he get to shoot it too.

*****Yes, the above is true. However, the OP will still do well in todays market if he decides to sell. Especially if he sells it to a big dude with an Austrian accent, and throws in a .45 long slide with laser sighting!!!

I have some safe queens. Non NFA stuff but nice guns that could sell for a premium in todays sellers market. I just don't shoot them, like ever. I guess I will wait until after the election, but before I have to turn them in if Biden wins and put Beto in charge of the ATF. :shocking:

I agree, I bought the Mp28 for a few thousand cheaper than the last one i seen sell and with 10x more stuff

I don't understand... sell... guns?? Does not compute.

Biggfoot44 · Oct 9, 2020

I'll stop just short of never , but I have gifted more guns than I've sold .

Doctor_M · Oct 9, 2020

I just keep expanding my storage area.

rob-cubed · Oct 9, 2020

Hold onto it. It's an investment. Sell it later for even more than you can now.

I would think that feeding a f/a Uzi would be a daunting proposition right now.

I wouldn't sell it unless you REALLY needed the money. The NFA market is in a downturn, so this isn't a great time to do it anyways. I'm not a "never sell your guns" guy, but there's simply not a lot of full autos floating around.

(Honestly, if I were to get a crazy enough bonus at the end of the year, I'd make a play for an M16 lower. Unlikely, but we'll see!)

I think I'd keep it at least another month or two. Might come in handy. Assuming you already have plenty of ammo on the shelf.

That is a risk. What if the feds make it fully illegal to own or transfer it in the future? (Not a far fetched idea in today's anti gun world)

Then it is worth $0

That makes sense

No one is looking for an Uzi for self defense....and quite frankly you don't want to be doing business with the person who is
