#INGRAM MAC 10 FOR SALE UPGRADE#
“No reasonable shooter would buy it for self-defense.The MAC-10 is a very effective in close range engagements, and it is viewed as a direct upgrade to the Uzi due to its high fire rate but lower ammo content, although having the highest firerate on the market naturally has a high recoil, barring any chance of winning a medium range fight without closing the distance. “It’s huge,” says Rob Key, who owns a weapons shop in Austin.
But if you’re looking for a weapon that’s easy to handle, its seven and a half pounds (loaded) is cumbersome. With a silencer, the gun’s report is subtle and unobtrusive. Firing it is eerily underwhelming a modest kick belies the damage it can do. Its rigid sheet-metal construction is durable in the most adverse conditions, and its design is ornament-free, so it won’t snag on clothes and underbrush. The MAC-10 is one ugly gun-obviously designed with function, not form, in mind. Leatherwood bought the tooling for the gun in 1984 and redesigned it as a nonconvertible semiautomatic. In the early eighties, the manufacture of convertible semiautomatics was outlawed, and RPB went out of business. The guns often ended up in the hands of drug dealers. 45-caliber bullets as fast as you could kick a door in-and it sold like crazy. Another company, RPB, continued to make a semiautomatic version of the MAC-10 that was easily converted to automatic-meaning it could spray thirty rounds of. When the Vietnam War ended in 1973, the MAC-10 company lost its main customer, the Army, and shut down its shop in Marietta, Georgia. A clunky and homely automatic pistol created by Gordon Ingram in 1964, the MAC-10 was the height of sophistication for reconnaissance patrols that needed a quiet weapon (it was also the weapon of choice for political assassinations). Leatherwood also helped develop the trigger mechanism on the original Ingram MAC-10, which made it easy to mass-produce. Army in 1967, the scope revolutionized the long-range M-21 sniper rifles used in Vietnam, Grenada, and Kuwait. While he was in college, for instance, he invented a rifle scope that makes it easier to hit a target from as far away as three quarters of a mile.
“Texans have a long relationship with guns,” he says, “and we should be allowed to carry them as long as we’re required to receive training in their use.”Ī large man with a brooding brow and shock of metal-gray hair, Leatherwood has had strong feelings about guns for most of his fifty years. By making firearms, he is also making a statement. He continues to produce them, he says, because they sell, and he depends on the business for his livelihood. In a sixty- by forty-foot home shop at the end of the road, Leatherwood builds MAC-10’s at a rate of about fifteen a week. But the semiautomatic version has lately been scorned by many reputable gun dealers, who point out that the MAC-10 isn’t particularly advanced technologically, is not attractive, and has no finesse at hitting a target. The powerful MAC-10 automatic weapon earned the title of the scourge of Vietnam and subsequent drug wars. Down a gutted dirt road that twists through the remote countryside near Stephenville is a modest metal building where the MAC-10, or M-10, pistol is still top gun.
