Early Marushin UZI (wood-stock, 1970's model)

Bought this little gem off Gunbroker on a whim last year, and I'd like to pass it on to a more serious collector.

It's a Marushin UZI, one of the early versions made in the late 1970's. I received with it a letter declaring it a non-gun from the ATF (can't tell if it's an original copy of the letter, it might be. I'll post pics of that later).

Don't know much about it, as like I said I bought it on a whim with the intent to hold onto it. However, as with all things in life, priorities change and I though this would be the perfect place to find it a good home.

Now for some pictures:












Here's what's included:
-Marushin UZI (complete w/ original box, sling, wood stock, and magazine) and magazine)
-Letter from the ATF
-Real steel UZI folding stock (w/ all parts needed to attach it to the Marushin)
*I was told by the original-seller that the lower-receiver(IE the grip where the magazine is inserted) may or may not also be a real-deal UZI part. I've no way to verify this, just thought I should put it out there that it's a possibility

I have some pictures I can upload later of the Marushin-markings too, if anyone's interested.

I'd like to see this gone for somewhere in the neighborhood of $300. I'd prefer to keep this domestic, but if you're willing to pay the extra shipping cost and risk customs, I'll ship internationally.

Thanks for looking

GOD DAMN THE VCR BILL!!! I'd have this like a shot if not for that bloody useless law.

That's the UK one that affected Airsoft too, right? Damn shame...

The same one... :-(

It covers all "imitation firearms", no matter if it is a modelgun, airsoft or a solid rubber toy in shape of gun.

One cannot legally buy "imitation firearms" without having a defence, which can be membership of airsoft association, reenactor club etc. Model could be also painted in one of bright colours to make it non-imitation. It is up to the seller to verify compliance, otherwise the seller will be prosecuted.

This bill had a very chilling effect on modelgun sales :-/ While airsoft sales continued thanks to availability of airsoft clubs and popularity of this hobby, there is no specific provision for modelguns. Export out of UK is still legal (seller does not need to provide a defence), but most shipping couriers do not accept replica firearms.
