This was the second version of MK Arms' advertisement of the MK 760 Line of firearms during the mid 1980's. The ad was a flyer that showcases the semi-auto pistol, carbine, and it's full auto cousin. Mike Ruplinger was the owner of MKA during the early and mid-1980's and the company was orignially started to provide spare parts to the US Navy to service their remaining inventory of S&W 76's used by the Navy Seals. Ruplinger later went on to produce his own SMG in the days before May of 1986. Reportedly, the first run of semi-automatic versions of the MK-760 were considered Class 3 weapons as they were open bolt. MKA designed a closed bolt version to comply with NFA regulations. I've been fortunate enough to own a carbine for about 20 years and despite it's heavy trigger pull, is a very fun gun to shoot.
