i just seen one of these at a gun show for $2200 without a mag lmao DX

[-]

Bigironstonks@reddit

That was probably a semi auto open bolt model, that’s average price for those now.

[-]

Acrobatic_Pie9044@reddit

sadly it wasnt. i asked the guy specifically about that lmao

[-]

TankerKing2019@reddit

I’ve always thought MAC’s were dope looking but everyone I have talked to about them said they suck.

I hope this thing is a ton of fun for you!

[-]

chasteeny@reddit

They are garbage, the magazines are super expensive and shit, they jam and can rarely feed an entire mag without failures, they are extremely heavy, etc etc

[-]

Molot_Vepr_308@reddit (OP)

Its such an unergonomic BRICK haha

That said however, its got vibes and it looks awesome. Those who say MACs suck are extremely correct. They definitely suck, and my MP5 clone blows it out of the water

But those who buy MACs arent buying something serious. They're buying it because its the quintessential gansta gun of the 80's meant for one-handed drive by firing

I will indeed have ALOT of fun with this thing

Oh and also I won it off a GB auction for 630 which is a pretty acceptable price point

Closed Bolt, old school Masterpiece Arms clone, so unfortunately I cannot SBR it and stick on the awesome but impractical wire stock (there is literally no damn room for it, even if I cut the slots open)

[-]

gunmedic15@reddit

The stupid trigger plate blocks the use of the wire stock and makes the trigger slap so bad they need that rubber tube on it to protect your finger. I think maybe USMachinegun makes a buffer tube adapter for a CAR/AR stock but it's too bulky and makes an "ugly in a cool way like a Pug or an old 1970s Thunderbird" into "Ugly like your mom or communism" way.

Cool gun, though. And great price. Shoulder holster next?

[-]

Molot_Vepr_308@reddit (OP)

First of all is 45 ACP and alot of it.

And second is 100% a damn stock lol, just tried it out, got through a mag before the old rubber buffer melted into a sticky gooey mess that gunked the relatively simple bolt. Wiped what I could and slathered it in CLP, got through my range day with it working again.

So yeah, on second thought, more 45 ACP and a new buffer pad

But next up is definitely a damn stock or brace because whooptie that hunk of a bolt is the real captain of recoil lol

[-]

LopsidedResearch8400@reddit

Damn, still neat though!

Years ago I came across an open bolt in .45 at a pawn shop for around 600$, but It was in terrible shape externally... I really should have tried to talk them down.

[-]

BroseppeVerdi@reddit

I hear the same thing about Turkish-made bullpup shotguns and pretty much everything Keltec makes, but it doesn't make me want one any less.

[-]

ServoIIV@reddit

While I agree that most Turkish shotguns are not good firearms, most Keltec firearms work well. They have had a few models that had issues early in production but were fixed by revisions after a little bit.

[-]

BroseppeVerdi@reddit

"They advertise it as 'the most popular gun in American crime', can you believe that? It actually says that in the booklet that comes with it, like they're proud of that shit!"

[-]

SalvoRosario@reddit

What is this from?

[-]

BroseppeVerdi@reddit

Jackie Brown. It was a Tarantino movie from the late 90's based on Elmore Leonard's "Rum Punch". In that scene, a black market arms dealer (Samuel L Jackson) is sitting on the couch with his thug friend (Robert De Niro) watching an aggressively 80's tape called "Babes With Guns" and talking about his experiences selling the guns in the video.

He's actually talking about a Tec 9, but I think it still works.

Jman1400@reddit

How's the sights?

[-]

Molot_Vepr_308@reddit (OP)

Good enough for a drive by

Legit though, trying to use the sights seriously is hopeless, the front sight post is thick as a motherfucker, its like trying to use the irons of the M60E4 in Battlefield 4.

[-]

Jman1400@reddit

I was wondering exactly that to be honest lol. That front sight post looks wider than the peep hole. It doesn't look like they would be usable.

I'll have to find a video of that though, I fell off after BF3.

once0217@reddit

MACs are just some fun guns. Here's mine in 380

[-]

locolarue@reddit

Extended Mag+ Silencer. I took many skulls with a MAC-11 in Black Ops 1. Good times.

[-]

RedJerk5@reddit

For me it was Hotline Miami. That gun just looks so damn cool. Especially with the tapered suppressor.

[-]

LowerFroyo4623@reddit

CIA lap gun

[-]

mercurygrandmarquis1@reddit

This gun is absolute garbage, but I absolutely love mine. Have fun with it and from what I’ve been told replacing the magazine makes it a lot more reliable

[-]

richsreddit@reddit

Seems more sensible than the Glock.

[-]

Jens_Fischer@reddit

The gansta gun...
Or
The OG US elite SpecOp submachine gun!

But boy, on the hindsight, the ingram gun really just looks like a bullet spewing brick compared to other submachine guns nowadays.

Just be careful dropping it down the stairs

[-]

DoPewPew@reddit

Hopefully it runs better than my friends. His sucks and constantly jams

[-]

Molot_Vepr_308@reddit (OP)

Im heading to the range tonight to find out!!

[-]

DudelyMcDuderson@reddit

Report back plz!

[-]

Molot_Vepr_308@reddit (OP)

After range report ish

As expected from a 8-9 pound brick on a stick.. creature comfort is pretty lacking lol. That massive hunk of steel that they call a bolt in this thing basically makes shooting this thing like a pistol a damn chore. that front strap will do very little to help you without a stock

The uh, sights are... hopeful. Trying to use them seriously is pretty much useless since the front sight post is a big wide block that'll cover up whatever you're trying to hit

It ran alright!! At first. Went through a whole mag. Then I started getting light strikes. Then the bolt got harder to pull. Then I could literally watch the bolt slowly crawl forward when I released it.

Took it apart on the spot, and realized the small buffer pad had basically melted from the heat and turned into a nice sticky goo that gunked up the insides. I wiped it off and slathered it in CLP and managed to salvage the range day!!

But you know what? It was fun as hell!! But yeah, gotta replace the buffer pad, and probably get some stock adapter and slap a cheap brace onto it, probably gonna SBR it later down the line because why the hell not

[-]

DudelyMcDuderson@reddit

hell yeah brother! I get it, and I'm happy for you.

[-]

DoPewPew@reddit

Yeah I think they’re meant to be full auto. Seems that being semi auto hurts reliability

MArkansas-254@reddit

As the saying goes… whatever trips your trigger.

[-]

EnterpriseDoorGunner@reddit

This is perfectly reasonable. In fact, I'd be disappointed if you HADN'T bought it. You're obviously a person of keen intelligence and impeccable taste.

[-]

bownt1@reddit

pure class

[-]

TacosNGuns@reddit

I heartily approve. My first handgun was a Tec-9 in 1990. 2nd was a beretta m9

[-]

Key-Tea-2881@reddit

This is definitely on par with 21 year old purchases can’t even judge

[-]

Molot_Vepr_308@reddit (OP)

You should see the stuff I bought when I was restricted to just long guns and shotguns lol

Cheapass Ruger 556 is expected. FN FAL? Probably not. SAFN FN-49? What the hell?

[-]

Key-Tea-2881@reddit

I remember buying a century arms Ak at 18 and thinking I was the shit

[-]

NoOnesSaint@reddit

Wait which one is this?

[-]

Molot_Vepr_308@reddit (OP)

Old school Masterpiece Arms MAC-10 clone, closed bolt 45 ACP

[-]

NoOnesSaint@reddit

I meant what model. I have an old 930T 9mm that takes sten mags.

[-]

Molot_Vepr_308@reddit (OP)

Thats the thing, there is no model name only manufactuer. All I have to go with is that its an old M10/45 clone. Its just Masterpiece Arms .45 ACP Carrollton GA on the side

[-]

NoOnesSaint@reddit

Best I can tell it's an MPA10.

[-]

NoOnesSaint@reddit

Also I'd have to look it up again but that strap mught count as a grip. Heard something stupid about it a while ago.

[-]

Molot_Vepr_308@reddit (OP)

Its easy! I grab it and hold it at an angle and its a angled foregrip!! totally.

[-]

WhiskeyAndLead@reddit

Your second purchase was even more sensible. Yes, I concur.

[-]

AdviceGiveandTake@reddit

Semi, or the real thing?

[-]

Molot_Vepr_308@reddit (OP)

Figured the lack of wirestock and mention of it being a 'handgun' would've gave it away, semi-auto closed bolt.

[-]

Dojadank1@reddit

Great collection piece really just not great shooter, have a mac11 that’s great to bump fire other than that it not that useful

[-]

ArceusTwoFour_Zero@reddit

I have a really big thing for stamped sheet metal machine pistol looking guns. I have a kimel arms AP9. Looks badass, sucks to shoot. Jam-o-matic and the trigger is horrendous. But hey, it looks real cool at the range.

[-]

notCrash15@reddit

Nice. I'd love a vintage MPA in .45 as well

[-]

Calypso_gypsie@reddit

Ha! My buddy had one of those back in the early 90's. An absolute POS to shoot but it was cool. With his, if you rapid-fired it, about half the time it would slam fire the next round and go full auto for a bit. Scary but fun.

[-]

Molot_Vepr_308@reddit (OP)

Given the trigger on these things, Im really not surprised lol, when you test the trigger reset, when you pull the bolt back it will significantly bump the trigger back forward, like a fake reset. These things from what Ive heard, have terrible trigger slap.

FRTs on these things are also stupid simple since the gun basically is doing everything for you lol
