Man heads to prison for making ghost guns

By John Maczko Mar 24, 2026 | 6:07 AM

A North Canton man has been sentenced to more than 5 years in prison for making and selling “ghost” AR-15’s to strangers and people he knew.  Such weapons have no serial numbers, which prevents tracing their owners.  U.S. district Judge David Ruiz in Cleveland sentenced Christopher Machamer on 5 charges, including making of firearms in violation of the National Firearms Act, unlawful transfer of unregistered firearms.
