I wouldn't anticipate much more than any other similar model. I suppose we will see..

Wow, I've never seen a SS receiver before. I wonder how many exist?
Def an oddball.

NEVER MIND, I didn't notice at first it was semi-auto. Yeah, I've seen those before.
Usually, they are special presentation models.

Ha,Ha.... did anyone actually read the listing? It's a nickel plated semi. Not stainless.

Probably bring good coin in the hood. Needs cerakote.

Nice gun anyway.....Look at the last picture - It's of the original box and say's "Stainless" .

Vector had these regularly for sale right before the company disappeared. They also sold semi mini Uzis with SS receivers along with the full size with SS receivers. If I recall correctly they were about $100 more for the stainless.

Read the listing again. It says satin nickel finished not nickel plated.
It is a Stainless-Steel Receiver. The stainless steel gets the satin nickel finish look from blasting it with a fine media.
All of our Group Industries Stainless Steel Receivers are in the 600000 serial number range and this one is an early one: 600014.

Its at $1,300 now. I bet it does over $2k. I think its a rare gun in stainless and unfired

At $1,600 including the buyer's premium someone got a steal. I certainly would have bid on this if I had seen it last week.

Group industries made 1000 stainless uzi receivers

With all due respect to the Uzi at issue, I don't think it was a steal, but rather a reflection of how the general bidding public feels about a two-tone gun.
