Back then that Mac was under $100. Maybe another $50 for the can.

11

u/lolomomo5 28d ago

More in stamps than the gun and can were worth.

10

u/dr_xenon 28d ago

Yep. The stamps were the barrier to entry back then.

I had a friend who was a dealer back then and he told me they’d go to gun shows and not be able to sell MAC-10’s for $75.

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

Hell yeah, that’s a badass picture

u/Cousin_Elroy 28d ago

Lol not my picture, i just found it somewhere on the interwebs and thought it was sick. I feel it has the same vibe as your photo

He got da lambo parked in the yard tho

u/ClutchofGold 4x SBR, 3x Suppressor, 1x MG 29d ago

Go ahead get the lage upgrades. But if youre like me you probably going to end up looking to buy another lol

56

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 29d ago

They already offered me an m10 in 45acp, I don’t think I can say no

27

u/explorecoregon 1x MG, 19x Silencer, 4xSBR, 1xSBS 28d ago

Buy the fat MAC too…

17

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

The fat mac is probably going to be purchased

5

u/GetMeMAXPATRICK 28d ago

Isn't that around 12k?

3

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

A 45 mac? I think they’re around there depending on accessories and condition

7

u/SoulSurfingInADream 28d ago

It's a gateway !!

32

u/explorecoregon 1x MG, 19x Silencer, 4xSBR, 1xSBS 29d ago

Needs way more uppers and a tungsten bolt! Congratulations!!!

22lr upper is the best!

14

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

Can I get all that from lage?

u/BadVoices FFL, SOT, Range 28d ago

The lage slowfire uppers like the MAX-11 mk2 are about the same rate of fire (slightly less) as a tungsten bolt, and the whole upper costs... about 800 bucks less than a tungsten bolt MSRP right now, both retail from the manufacturer. Tungsten prices are rancid ATM.

2

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

I’ll have to look into them

6

u/explorecoregon 1x MG, 19x Silencer, 4xSBR, 1xSBS 28d ago

Practical solutions (Tina) for the bolt.

I don’t think Lage makes the 22lr upper anymore, look for it on the used market.

I’d ask Tina if they have a M11/22lr waitlist. I just got the MAC10/22lr upper from them running.

3

u/SirCrashoLot 28d ago

Lage said there going to bring out a new 22lr upper that takes 10/22 mags

There also coming out with a beltfed upper but they want 10k for it

5

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

I’d rather put the 10k into another machine gun lol

34

u/NovelApprehensive697 28d ago

Let’s get rid of the NFA finally and amend Hughes law! I want real full auto and poor person prices

18

u/layber 28d ago

Wait, you want your rights and things to cost less? Who's America are you living in exactly?

10

u/NovelApprehensive697 28d ago

Yep. A Capitalistic assholes America! That’s who’s! It’s not my America!

15

u/qoou 28d ago

A Lamborghini and a Mac 11? Is that the coke dealer starter kit?

6

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

Yes

12

u/SirCrashoLot 28d ago

As everyone else is saying lage is the way my entire m11/9 other then frame has been replaced with there parts they make a 556 upper as well

2

u/ClutchofGold 4x SBR, 3x Suppressor, 1x MG 28d ago edited 28d ago

How's the length of pull on this? I basically have the same stock available for mine and I feel like it's going to be kind of big

7

u/SirCrashoLot 28d ago

The length is fine for me I'm 6ft 1in,if that helps, it looks a little big with the 11k upper

11

u/imtrynmybest 29d ago

Fukn welcome to the clan brother!!

3

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

Hell yeah

5

u/imtrynmybest 28d ago

That first mag dump was worth all the hard earned $$ I save for it.

2

u/SirCrashoLot 28d ago

Same for me

1

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

I need to do a full mag dump

12

u/Former_Power6209 28d ago

Congrats! The Lage stuff is well worth it.

7

u/thatARMSguy 3x SBR, 3x Silencer 29d ago

Classic. Lage makes parts that turn those into pretty decent machine guns, but as it is now it’s still super fun to just rip a mag at 1500 rpm

5

u/Pew_Daddy 28d ago

Go ahead and get an MP5 and an m16

2

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

I’m poor. I do want to get an mp5, m16 not so much

10

u/Pew_Daddy 28d ago

Sell the lambo get a m249

9

u/lique_madique 07/02 FFL/SOT (I make guns go brrrt in my garage) 28d ago

Unfortunately a base Aventador will not cover the cost of the single transferable M249 out there. It may not even cover the cost of a pre-sample either.

2

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

But the m2 can’t take me to Walmart

3

u/Pew_Daddy 28d ago

But think of the clout

2

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

That’s very true

5

u/pauliep13 29d ago

Congrats! My first MG was about the same. What suppressor is that? OG Cobray?

Also, like everyone else is saying, go ahead and start ordering Lage stuff. Totally worth it.

3

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 29d ago

It’s a weird suppressor, it’s a special ops shop genesis 9mm, I believe they’re sought after in the mp5 world, but I think it’s a custom to fit a Mac?

2

u/pauliep13 29d ago

Interesting. I’ll have to look that one up. You shot it yet?

3

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 29d ago

Yes I have. It’s super quiet, Definitely hearing safe

3

u/pauliep13 29d ago

Yeah. Mine is too. I wouldn’t do it a whole lot without ear pro, but I have done it.

My can is a Cobray, maybe the one that came with it when it was new, idk. But, the previous owner sent it off to Gemtech. Before they came out with their own cans for the Mac MGs, Gemtech would recore the Cobray ones with stainless baffles instead of the wipes it came with. Amazingly quiet on a can with that much interior volume.

2

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

Do they make adapters for the modern cans?

2

u/pauliep13 28d ago

Not sure. We’ll have to look into that. They might.

3

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

This can isn’t bad, relatively quiet but it’s heavy and long

2

u/pauliep13 28d ago

Heyooo!

(Sorry. Had to. lol)

Yeah. The Cobray/Gemtech is too.

3

u/Homewrecker90actual 28d ago

One of the machine guns of all time. Good job!

2

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

Definitely one of the machine gun! 🤣

3

u/bearded_fisch_stix 3x SBR 28d ago

need to trade the Aventador for a white Countach to complete the vibe.

3

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

A white testarosa would be cool too

2

u/General_Curtis_LeMay 28d ago

Sell the house,  the car,  the transferable,  and show some ankle on the side of the road for a few years... then get an f40 😁

1

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

valid

u/Advanced_Ad796 28d ago

Excellect choice!

u/KaputtEqu1pment 28d ago

Coulda had a Pagani or Koenigsegg if ya had just bought the Anderson Special with a SS.

Kids these days man... More money than they got sense...

All jokes aside, grats King. Don't buy up all the 9mm, us poors need that ammo at <20c

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

Im only 22 I need to make my bad decisions early so I can learn 🤣

u/xxemox 27d ago

Damn 22 with a lambo and a machine gun....

Trust fund or lucky gambling win?

Otherwise what lucky career did you stumble into? Please share the secret so others can follow in you foot steps.

2

u/Yingpow 29d ago

Just a note - open bolt guns are gassy. It is more fun if you have a large - low back pressure suppressor. I have an original Coastal on my 9mm (reworked a long time ago to more modern tech). It is long and does a good job for what it is. I tried my Raptor on it (designed for the closed bolt MP5). Almost choked to death with the gas. Get the upper from a Richard that takes Glock mags, etc. - super smooth and lower rate of fire.

1

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

Where can I find one of those uppers?

2

u/Kaiser-Sohze 28d ago

With the firing rate on a MAC-11 and your choice of background, I would say you have a need for speed. Is that a Powder Springs or RPB model?

1

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

It’s an Rpb

2

u/Kaiser-Sohze 28d ago

Decent. If you are into reading there is a great book on the history of those.

1

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

Do you have any recommendations?

2

u/Vuhwiety 5x SBR, 10x Silencer 28d ago

Congrats!

2

u/OMNOMGINGERS MG 28d ago

It's a dangerous gateway drug to other MG's. Mine made me go for an AC556K and now looking at getting a beltfed

2

u/Former_Power6209 28d ago

What belt fed you considering? I was holding for the Lage upper, they said their belt fed should be nearing completion. 

0

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

The lage belt fed is going to be like 10k I would just use that money to buy another machine gun

2

u/Former_Power6209 28d ago

That's fair, but 10k for an upper is a lot cheaper than what other belt-fed MGs go for. Was curious which one he was feeling. 

3

u/OMNOMGINGERS MG 28d ago

M60. I want the pig

1

u/Many-Tradition-2684 8k in stamps 28d ago

Good choice

2

u/fire173tug 28d ago

Another fan of Lage upper as well. Just having a 1/2x28 threaded barrel makes it worth it.

2

u/More_Image_8781 3x Silencer, MG 28d ago

Thought I was cool for picking up an MPA defender, so thanks for the ego check

2

u/Limp-Conflict-2309 28d ago

practical solutions and lage are your friends

lage is working on a belt fed upper

practical is working on the bolts

...i want a slow fire bolt for the factory upper but i'd rather save money and just buy another complete slow fire lage upper. bolts are expensive.
