Military Armament Corporation (MAC)
About Military Armament Corporation
Military Armament Corporation has a legendary history in the firearms industry, originally co-founded in 1970 by engineer Gordon Ingram and Mitchell WerBell of SIONICS.
The original company created the famous MAC-10 design and operated until the mid-1970s when assets were sold at bankruptcy auction.
In 2023, the MAC brand was resurrected by Tim Mulverhill, CEO of Tennessee-based SDS Imports, bringing modern precision manufacturing to the legendary name.
Today's Military Armament Corporation focuses on tactical firearms engineered for professional, tactical, and enthusiast use.
The company builds on decades of firearms innovation with modern quality control standards designed to meet the demands of law enforcement, military, and civilian users.
