I disagree. The Lage Mac upgrades make a HUGE improvement. The Uzi is a good shooter, but I get very good 5.56 and 9mm systems with Lage options. The 9mm system that I have (Max 11 MK2) shoots very well for me. Adjustable rate of fire, options for drums on other uppers (lost on me since I have a Swedish K), stocks, fore-grips, optics, etc make the 9mm kit one of my go-to guns for fun. My factory pre-sample Uzi stays home now. I just wish someone would rework the trigger group to get a nicer trigger for the M11/9. I have the Lage trigger but there's still room for improvement there. Shoot each and decide what YOU like. Have fun.

Dealer made a mistake. Proves that he is human. Offers to take it back to fix situation. Other than some disappointment and a little time back and forth to the post office what are you really "out"? From my perspective I would not see this as a big deal. I would chalk it up as a disappointment that was fixed and move on. I'm not sure that I would expect any special treatment / consideration from them. They're already out the cost for sending it back and forth, and their time for the same. I'm sure that they're not happy about it either.

Shooting suppressed 5.56 / .223 through a good silencer sounds like un-silenced .22 lr to me. Uncomfortable without hearing protection. 100% that neighbors will know exactly what you're doing. Others may have different opinions. Just too much supersonic crack to mask...

If this is a matter of understanding the rules, could someone be kind enough to post a link so that we can all be educated? Like others, I've been an SOT for a couple decades + and clearly am not familiar with this policy. Just because something transfers on a form 4 means absolutely nothing later if ATF catches a past mistake.

"1" completed sale. California Form 3 Deal too good to be true. You did the right thing by reaching out with a question here. There are WAY too many red flags that should've had you mashing the brakes. Too many scammers looking for easy money. This one has 10-day old dead fish smell of a classic scam all over it. Another thing you can try is capturing a picture off the ad and run it through Google image search. Many times it will pull up previous postings using the same image(s).

For the first loader suggested on this thread there are tutorial videos online for how to load the 36-round stripper clips from packaged 9mm ammo. Basically you remove one or 2 rows of rounds near the middle of the 50-rds of packaged ammo, then slide the stripper over rows of 5 a couple of times on one side then turn things 180 and repeat. You get 5 per row easily and just manually add #6 per row. I actually just load up bunches of the strippers by hand (really not hard) when killing time listening to online meetings or watching TV. I end up with several dozen loaded 36-rd stripper clips. Just grab loaded strippers and the plunger tool and throw them in the range bag when I go shooting. It is SUPER fast and easy to load a mag. That loader system is great. I have not come across anything better for 9mm.

Just emailed you for the last 2 cases (if still available).

I would've paid that for the Lewis and MG42.

How did you get $80k insurance with USPS Registered? Everything that i previously sent insured via USPS Registered mail had insurance capped / maximum available at $25k. Has this changed? If so, that is a dramatic increase...

Congrats! Good choice. The new modularity of the mac series with Lage uppers and add-ons provides a lot of fun options in several calibers, including a good functioning rifle caliber. You have to get into M16 and HK sears before you find another platform that runs really well in both subgun and rifle calibers. And you can run a drum (cheap and no modifications) in one of the subgun configurations. Very versatile. Enjoy safely!

Also Keystone indoor range in Cranberry. They rent MGs. Nice facility. Pricey, but available on short winter days. Don't know if limited to pistol calibers, but I don't think so. No beltfeds to be rented. Plenty of posties... You can bring your own. I've never been a fan of indoor full auto. Each to his own.

Beaver Valley Rifle & Pistol. Off of 51 past Bridgewater. Members only. 1/2 hour (or so) from Cranberry Twp. Next to (actually behind) Brady's Run park. Message me if you want more info.

Maybr offer it to a bigger audience than NFA aficionados? We (NFA guys - or maybe it's just me) look at it as a nice parts kit. Others may look at it as a collectible package. Possibly float it over on GBroker and see if you get any bites. Maybe start with a reserve and see where it goes. The catch with that is that most bidders are cold with a reserve price, so there's a chance that it won't get the same interest as no reserve, so you take your chances. Or, if you have a price in your head that would make you happy, then just post it here with that number and see if it sells. A good deal is generally defined that both buyer and seller are happy. I generally feel that it plays out that the seller wishes he'd gotten a little more $$ and the buyer wishes that he'd spent a little less $$.

I would not start below $40k.

With today's prices? Start at $16k. There are collectors out there (outside of NFA owners) who will pay a premium for these time capsules. Me? Not so much. But some collectors drool over those. You can always come down, and you have precedent for the asking price... Good luck!
