I’ll try it this way. Because I’m really wasting a lot of time with this. M-10 Cobray, Ingram, whatever, it’s a moot point, and irrelevant.
It is common knowledge that Ingram designed and produced the M-10. Period.
Not so common knowledge, INGRAM sold all the rights to RPB Industries. Then RPB sold the rights to a firearm they called MAC to everyone. Under that name RPB, First sold to MAC Stephensville TX (known as a TX MAC, then and now). TX bought the rights and produced that firearm. And they called them MAC’s
At about the same time RPB had sold the rights to TX. The owner of RPB (Wayne Daniel) transferred the licensing rights of Ingrams M-10, to another company him and his wife founded called. SWD (Sylvia and Wayne Daniel), he started a that company under his wifes name. Because of his battle with the ATF about how easy it was to convert the simi auto M-10 pistol to automatic. That he designed, under the company name, RPB.
Quick break down.
M.A.C Ingram invented the M-10 then sold the rights to
RPB. They sold the licensing rights to MAC Stephensville TX. But RPB held the rights.
RPB went under and “sold” the rights to the renamed SWD. And so on and so one.
After TX got the licensing rights, and they sold Ingrams, M-10 as MAC-10, it has been called MAC’s ever since. Because it was Ingrams M-10. And everyone already called it a MAC.
The Cobray Logo was invented by Wayne Daniel the owner of RPB. He did that after he got the rights from M.A.C. And all he did was change the M.A.C logo slightly.
TX used cobray’s logo in the 70s when they produced the rights they leased from RPB M-10.
So in short a Cobray is a MAC. Because TX marketed Ingrams M-10s as a MAC-10. And every one else as followed.
Like I said before Cobray is a logo, thats it. The first company to use that logo was MAC Stephensville TX. And they called the firearm a MAC-10
