http://bangordailynews.com/2012/02/17/business/one-of-most-versatile-weapons-on-the-planet-made-in-old-town-but-good-luck-finding-where/OLD TOWN, Maine Mack Gwinn III doesnt like advertising his companys whereabouts.
But he loves advertising his product, which he calls the most versatile assault rifle on the planet.
Mack Gwinn Industries, or MGI, is tucked into an unassuming, homey building on Main Street. The business isnt open to the public and the doors are locked even when employees are inside.
We try to maintain a low profile, Gwinn said Tuesday, adding that his company has a close relationship with Old Town police because its important to keep MGIs product out of the wrong hands.

(54,770 posts)5. Wow, I bet that's got those attracted to "assault" rifles salivating. Ironic, other article on page:
"BANGOR, Maine Police said they were called to Walter Street on Tuesday night to deal with a man acting erratically who reportedly had consumed the synthetic drug bath salts and took off carrying an assault-style rifle."
