Grant Wilkinson bought the MAC-10 replicas four years ago from a registered gun dealer claiming they would be used in the filming of a James Bond film, but instead adapted them in a backyard and then sold them on to gangs.Weapons from his gun factory were connected with 52 of 58 Mac-10 shootings since 2004, and have been linked to nine murders.Reading Crown Court found him guilty of seven offences and he is set to be sentenced Thursday morning.The court heard that Wilkinson paid 55,000 pounds for 90 replica Mac-10s, which only fired blanks, in July 2004, claiming that they would be used in the upcoming James Bond film.Wilkinson's gun factory only came to light when a tenant at a property he rented out pushed open the door of the shed he used to convert the guns.London's Metropolitan Police is offering a 10,000-pound reward for any information leading to the recovery of 40 missing Mac-10s, or to the arrests of the criminals who used them.
