Solid Values: MAC 1014 & MAC 2 - American Rifleman
Certain firearm designs and models are timeless and highly coveted, with a couple of obvious examples being the Heckler & Koch (H&K) Maschinenpistole 5 (MP5) and Benelli’s M4/M1014. Oftentimes these guns were—and in some cases, still are—employed by law-enforcement agencies and/or the military, and thus private ownership is limited due to one or more features that run afoul of gun-control legislation. Modified, civilian-legal variants are normally also introduced by the maker, however, these are usually costly and, at times, difficult to obtain. Fortunately, once patents expire, other manufacturers meet the demand with less costly clones. One such company is SDS Arms’ Military Armament Corp. (MAC).
Located in Knoxville, Tenn., SDS Arms is an importer that made its debut in 2017. Peruse the company’s website under its MAC brand and you’ll immediately notice a trend; only popular, time-tested models are offered. For instance, there are two semi-automatic-only handgun variants of the MP5 submachine gun, as well as the MAC 1911 JSOC 45, MAC 1911-9 Double Stack (February 2024, p. 54), and copies of the Benelli M4/M1014 and M2. I will focus on the latter two shotguns here.
