I order the $90.00 "New IMI" Uzi Bayonet from Vector Arms.
I received a South African. I called Vector and had a very pleasant conversion with the same customer service rep that I place my order with. They instructed me to send it back and they would cover the shipping cost.....which they did.
Today I received the " New IMI" bayonet.
Well I am not too pleased!
The grip screws are all boogered up. Like if someone used the wrong screwdriver tip and slipped out of the slots several times. It appears like the slipped out when tightening. If there is one thing I hate it is boogered screws!
Second problem is in relation to the IMI marking.
1. The marking is "I.M.I." , IMI usually does not use dots. Normally just "IMI" is the marking.
2. The "I.M.I." marking is not parked, it does not match the finish of the blade. It is fresh silver in color. It must have been cut after the fact.
3. The position of the "I.M.I." is rather odd. one would assume the IMI would be perpendicular to the blade and positioned near the cross plate.
This would lead me to believe this bayonet was marked after the fact, and NOT by IMI....some stooge.
Check out the pics.
Anyone have input on this.
I guess I am going to have to send this bayonet back also....Damn it.
