Stag Arms Pleads Guilty To Violating Federal Firearms Laws; Owner Will Sell Company

Mark Malkowski

ew Britain-based Stag Arms LLC pleaded guilty Tuesday to violating federal firearms laws and as part of a plea agreement president and owner Mark Malkowski agreed to sell the company and have no further ownership or management role in a gun manufacturer.

Malkowski pleaded guilty on behalf of the company in federal court in Hartford to a felony count of possession of machine guns not registered to the company.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is also revoking Stag’s federal license to manufacture firearms. A new owner could regain a license.

Malkowski is scheduled to plead guilty Wednesday in federal court in New Haven to a misdemeanor charge of failure to maintain firearms records. For his guilty plea, Malkowski, 37, will pay a $100,000 fine and will not be permitted to own, operate or manage a firearms company.

The federal government began its investigation of Stag in July 2014, after a routine ATF compliance inspection turned up a variety of record- keeping violations, missing firearms and unregistered machine guns, the government said.
