MAC-11 subcompact machine pistol found at JFK airport

its probably not even a Mac

Or it was a grandfather on their way to visit their grandchildren and forgot it was in their bag, so they left it behind

Note - 'even operable' Its probably a training gun for their guards during practice runs.

Hans,

Look here http://www.zib-militaria.de/epages/6...on=ViewProduct.

Whats nice about these is the receiver is left intact and the barrel and bolt are altered so it cant not be fired; alas, you can't get it state side due to BATFE restrictions.

Just thought I'd post it to let you know they are out there. If that other MAT was 25 grand it must have been transferable operational gun and not demilled.
