SUMMARY: Earl Carter, known as the “AK Guru,” has been arrested by the FBI in Richmond County, NC, following a tip from another arrest. The 15-page criminal complaint details his alleged involvement in making and selling hundreds of machine guns, either by modifying legal firearms or assembling them from deconstructed parts. A confidential informant reported that Carter had sold around 1,000 modified automatic weapons to various groups in the Carolinas, including customers from mountainous regions. The FBI’s investigation is ongoing, and no further comments have been made by law enforcement or Carter’s attorney as of yet.
