OLD TOWN, Maine — Mack Gwinn III doesn’t like advertising his company’s 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 isn’t 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 it’s important to keep MGI’s product out of the wrong hands.
