Our Assessment:
The Ingram MAC-10 is one of the most recognizable submachine guns of the 20th century, earning a place in both military and popular culture. Designed by Gordon Ingram and produced by Military Armament Corporation in Powder Springs, Georgia, the MAC-10 offered a compact, high-rate-of-fire platform chambered in .45 ACP. Powder Springs guns are the most desirable, representing the earliest and most authentic production.

This example, serial number 1-3 003873, is a fully transferable machine gun registered with the NFA. It features a 17” extended barrel with a ventilated handguard, giving it a distinctive profile compared to the classic stubby MAC look. The dual selector controls provide straightforward operation, and while it currently wears a modern polymer side-folding stock, the receiver retains its original factory cutouts for a wire collapsible.

For collectors, this is an opportunity to acquire a genuine Powder Springs MAC-10 in transferable form, with its markings intact and condition well-preserved. For shooters, it remains one of the most compact and controllable ways to unleash .45 ACP firepower at full-auto. Given its provenance, NFA status, and cultural cachet, this gun represents a rare blend of investment-grade collectibility and practical range enjoyment. So bid high and bid firm. I highly encourage you to take a look at the condition of the item in our high-quality photos. Good luck with your bid. -K.F.
