I personally would not want to take the chance (particularly in the current political climate as they may choose to make an example of someone that did)...but you may very well be correct.

Here is the seller again, now with an UZI parts kit - with receiver - and two position selector switch... Funny feeling about this one as well... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=135977551

I am correct.
The front of the military H&K trigger pack has two ears which are used to bolt the pack to a military receiver. This is what is being sold by SG.
The picture below shows two semi-auto-only trigger packs at the top (the one on the top right has been "clipped and pinned" - which means it's been modified to run semi auto only and had the ears "thinned" so they will give the appearance of a "real G3" [this is legal - just look at the street legal cars that 'appear' in NASCAR paint schemes]). The two on the bottom are selective fire trigger packs, and will only fit military/registered MG receivers.
A US legal receiver does not have the facility to accept the bolt that holds the military pack (being sold by SG) in place, so the pack itself must be modified for legality (reworked w/o selective fire capability). Below, a legal receiver is shown at the bottom, with a military receiver at the top of the image.
It's not the military trigger pack that's illegal, it's having a receiver that can accept it that is illegal (as with the Kalashnikov 'the third hole will get ya").
Sorry for the big post, I couldn't find the previous THR thread which covered all this.

That means nothing at all.wojownik said:
Lots of military parts gun have "full auto marking" on them. So long as it's built to be semi-auto-only, the markings are quite legal.

Nalioth, correct me if I am wrong, but there need to be some serious modifications to an Uzi parts kit to allow someone to build a legal semi-auto out of it. For example, building an open-open bolt Uzi, even if not designed to fire full-auto, is still forbidden, correct? That's a significant set of changes and additional parts. As well, the receiver may not accept the standard full-auto bolt. IIRC.
I'd want to see, in detail, what comes in this parts kit.

My response was not concerning assembly, but 'markings'.Sam1911 said:
I'm sure hundreds of us own legal semiauto Cetme/G3/FAL/Tantal rifles with 'selective fire markings' around the selector lever. The "markings" don't make the reality.
Not having gotten into the UZI parts kit field, I can only assume the US legal semi-auto receivers are designed in such a way to preclude "illegal assemblies".
