Homemade MAC 10 Submachine Gun at St. Louis Gun “Buyback”

Dean Weingarten - comments No comments

This homemade MAC 10 Submachine gun clone was turned in at the recent St. Louis “buyback”. Of course, you can’t buy back firearms that you never owned. Buyback is an Orwellian propaganda term used to designate events were people are incentivized to turn weapons in to police . . .

At the St. Louis event just before Christmas, the police took in 839 assorted firearms. From the St. Louis Police Twitter feed:

A special thank you to our Commissioned and Civilian Personnel, the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and the St.Louis Police Foundation in removing the following Firearms from the streets (preliminary #’s) 303 Handguns, 533 Long Guns and 6 Assault Rifles.

As is usually the case most of the guns were ordinary hunting rifles and shotguns, which are almost never used in crimes.

What caught the eye, though, was the homemade submachine gun. Homemade submachine guns are commonly found only where there are extremely restrictive gun controls in place. They are often seen in Brazil, Israel, Australia, and the Philippines. A particularly well made model is circulating around Europe.

Submachine guns are one of the easiest repeaters to make at home or in small workshops. It is not surprising they are a favorite of black market gun makers.

  1. The only such modification I’ve ever had made to my carry gun was at the recommendation of an instructor who said the pull was too heavy for me.

    I’ve never made a modification to any gun because I thought it would look cool.

  2. I want a new gun….BUT, I want a new pressure washer, namely a Karcher G4000 gas pressure washer. And while both my credit cards have zero balances, I shall remain strong and resist impulses. I’d also love a Sig MCX Virtus in .300 blk and a new Beretta PX4 and…………

  3. Watch a few episodes of some YouTube channels and any decent metal worker could figure out how to make a open-bolt SMG. The most difficult bits are what caliber and making the magazines work reliably.

  4. Any word on if this is DA/SA or SA only?

    Also: decocker?

    iirc – the sig offerings are SA only with no decocker: inrealixe this may not be a problem for all/ but not my cup of tea…..

  5. I think this is going to get really interesting because it is setting-up a firestorms of conflicting interests and ridiculous Kommiefornia new laws. While there may be 10 million plus gun owners in K-fornia and 33 million plus guns, many of those guns are in possession but not legally owned and many by persons also in possession of marijuana (now “legal” by K-fornia Law, but still illegal by Federal Law). Many K-fornians who possess guns are woefully ignorant of K-fornia gun laws and/or don’t care about said laws and certainly have no problem possessing/using a heretofore “controlled substance”, which they can eventually buy “legally” at their local pot shop. There are powerful criminal elements who control the marijuana supply-chain and also possess significant numbers of firearms. These elements cannot be thrilled about the loss of revenue they are faced with, nor the costs of entering the “legal marijuana” trade, nor the costs of having to vend “safety tested” marijuana (when DDT and et cetera tainted weed sold just as well on the street for the last several decades). They will not react well.

    K-fornia has recently enacted a law that reduces the use of a gun in a crime to a virtual misdemeanor, is garnering the largest “homeless population” in the U.S. and, recently, declared itself a “Sanctuary State”.

    K-fornia Law Enforcement is about to see an increase in crime, and other Police-involving events, with little chance of getting many perpetrators convicted. Law-abiding K-fornians are about to be increasingly victimized by this escalating crime as criminal illegals flock to the State, and gang/drug sales related crime escalates. Some places will become the shithole of shitholes and other nice places will become shitholes.

    Kommiefornia has been regarded as the progressive paradigm, but I think it is about to become the paradigm of failure for Progressive Democratic Socialist rule. I just hope the Communists in Sacramento suffer the same loses as other California Families will suffer as the nightmare they have created unfolds.

  6. Still nobody has linked a case where a modified trigger in a legit self defense shooting put them in jail. This is all BS when it comes to legit self defense.

  7. I’ve lived in NYS most of my life. Catskills area. The progressives are so numerous now that the Republican Party did not EVEN RUN an opponent in a recent municipal election in Woodstock, NY and had no contests in many surrounding areas.

    When I first moved up this way 40 years ago it was all Liberal Republican and JFK type democrats. Conservative leaning. People forget that JFK was a Conservative Democrat. Now it’s run by gender twisting, 9 month term baby killers. If you don’t support Planned Parenthood here some medical providers will actually discourage you from being their patient. It’s over the top.

    It took me almost 2 years to get a concealed carry because I got a progressive judge. He was ill tempered for no reason. I finally got transferred to a Republican judge who said she could see no reason at all to delay my license any further.

    Cuomo isn”t a progressive, but he is a little angry Mussolini type. The guy will try to demolish politically anyone who threatens his throne. It’s a sport to him.

    I am looking to leave the Catskills, leave New York. Absolutely great hunting and fishing, but it’s just not worth the Constitutional disdain of the ruling class and populations of the NYC, Albany, Poughkeepsie and Syracuse urban centers. Look at the election map, less than 10% of NY land footprint controls the vote. Farmers, loggers, rural dwellers … we are second class citizens feeding the out of touch. If just NYC became it’s own state, NY would probably vote conservative.

  8. The dude was simply an enterprising entrepreneur, attempting to engage in lawful commerce by selling ammunition before California’s latest blatant infringement on the 2A took effect.

  9. Lemmie FIFY:

    “Peaceful, responsible citizens have found their national voice on gun matters with the new administration, dragging the N R A into acting a bit like the membership organization it’s supposed to be, and some congresscritters into acting like a few 10’s of millions of their constituents maybe shouldn’t be demonized. This must be stopped.

    Now is the time for ever more vigorous waving of bloody shirts, suppression of inconvenient facts: safe gun use millions of times a day, D G Us, that the few people doing bad things with guns are about doing bad things, never mind how.

    Progress on gun rights, n ever-improving pubilic safety must be denied, less Bloonie’s billions stop flowing. Get the proles wee-wee’d up again or we might have to get real jobs.”

  10. I can never keep Glock’s numbering system straight. Is the big deal here that they put a shorter, compact-length barrel on a frame with a full-size grip?

  11. 20 years ago my dad represented a couple of guys who (in different incidents) got into shootouts with MAC-10s. They have since torn down the shopping mall and daycare center where the incidents took place.

  12. Come on, guys. This is a serious reach, and it sends the exact opposite message that you want it to. The girl used a firearm that she wrestled away from her abuser. The thug was your ‘good guy with a gun’, not the girl who turned it on him.
