Ruffian72 548 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 In Salt Lake Fri. Checked out Vector Arms. Showroom weapons looked good. Got a back log on production as most. Anyone have their products. Make a line of AK's, Uzi's, and HK's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kresk 10,063 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I have the V53 pistol (.308) and have subsequently added a telescoping stock on a Form 1. They are well built and I've had no problems with it. Would say their products are high quality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KySoldier 2 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I have the V53 pistol (.308) and have subsequently added a telescoping stock on a Form 1. You mean V51? I've heard great things about their products. Their Uzi's are reportedly well made. Heard some early V-53s had problems in semi and wouldn't function well on full auto without replacement with HK53 parts. They seem to be fine now. I've considered doing a short barrel on one but heard that the recoil rod/spring has to be modified to work in the shorties. Was yours that way Tritium? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The people at Vector are very easy to work with and quite pleasant. There was no mod of any type necessary in installing the collapsible stock. Just took off the back plate and substituted the stock. I'd love to have an auto sear but not at about $11,000. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrance@iacwds.com 716 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 (edited) I have the V-53 Pistol (.223) and love it. It is well made but the rear cap is a little tight coming off. Overall a great little gun. Can't imagine what kind of fireball a .308 throws, is it comfortable to shoot? 1911 Edited June 26, 2007 by 1911 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Juggernaut 11,054 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I have a vector AK. http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/programmin....asp?Prodid=233 Solid build, Parkerized. No bells, No Whistles, no frills, Solid AK... Armory receiver, and Bulgy parts (I think). From what I hear, Vector had a rough start (or an early bad rap) and have gotten allot better. Everyone says Rex is a good guy... I do not know him myself (yet). Granted, nothing fancy... straight forward AK build..... I'm very happy with mine. I'd like to get one of their new milled receiver ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've gotten to speak with them at the shows where they are always busy but still willing to answer questions. Glad your stock went right on, I had been looking at doing a B&T folder on a 51. Now that's my kind of gun Then again, I have HK53/93 mags at home with nothing to put them in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kresk 10,063 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 The V51 is not as nasty as one might think to shoot. Fireball? You bet! I picked up fifty G3 mags from Tapco at $1/each and also have some 30 rounders, so should be set for a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KySoldier 2 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Yeah, I love those cheap military mags. I've got a trunk full of mags for G3, AK, FAL, etc... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlexanMD 2 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I frequently travel to N. Salt Lake on business and have always been warmly welcomed at their storefront. I have owned Vector brand UZI carbines, full size UZI pistols, V53 (.223), and V89 (9mm SP89 pistol clone). Of those, I have always had great customer service and all were well made. Even though they are currently backlogged on orders, they shipped my last purchase in about 2 weeks. They also seem very willing to build a gun to your (legal) request, such as Hebrew marked lowers on UZIs & full or semi bolts on HK clones. Never owned one of their AKs but held a few, they seem just as well built. I would recommend them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mscottrogers 56 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I live a few miles from them and bought AK receivers from them and an UZI carbine that is now a SBR. Great folks up there. any questions I have they answer right away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kresk 10,063 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Have a Vector V51 SBR and have been extrremely pleased with it. Their customer service is also excellent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vultite 57 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 they back all their products with warrenties, all good things from what i've heard, the only weapon they produced that i wanted was their MP5 clones and PDK clones, which they don't produce anymore....

skiboatsp 111 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Group Industries Vector's are probably the best UZI around !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlexanMD 2 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) Well right now they have some problems: HECKLER & KOCH, INC. v. VECTOR ARMS, INC. Plaintiff: HECKLER & KOCH, INC. Defendant: VECTOR ARMS, INC. Case Number: 1:2008cv00389 Filed: March 25, 2008 Court: Indiana Southern District Court Office: Indianapolis Office County: Hamilton Presiding Judge: Judge David Frank Hamilton Referring Judge: Magistrate Judge Tim A. Baker Nature of Suit: Intellectual Property - Trademark Cause: 15:1125 Trademark Infringement (Lanham Act) Jurisdiction: Federal Question Jury Demanded By: Plaintiff Vector Arms v. Coharie Arms Plaintiff: Vector Arms Defendant: Coharie Arms Case Number: 1:2008cv00039 Filed: April 16, 2008 Court: Utah District Court Office: Northern Office County: Weber Presiding Judge: Judge Dee Benson Nature of Suit: Contract - Other Contract Cause: 28:1332 Diversity-Breach of Contract Jurisdiction: Diversity Jury Demanded By: Plaintiff ....So H&K is suing them for trademark violations , and they are suing thier part supplier Coharie Arms because they no longer are suppling them parts. Not so good for future of Vector guns... Edited June 3, 2008 by Maxwell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
