About Us

Lage Manufacturing was founded in 2003 by Richard Lage with one goal: transform the MAC-platform submachine gun into a controllable, accurate, and truly enjoyable firearm. What began with slowing down the M11/Nine’s extreme rate of fire evolved into a full line of innovative upper receivers, stocks, and accessories trusted by shooters nationwide. Proven in competition — including multiple national wins using the MAX-31 Mk2 Suomi drum upper — our products are precision-engineered, competition-tested, and built to elevate performance. In 2018, we expanded that innovation with the 5.56 MAX-11/15 upper, and advanced the platform again in 2024 with the VERSA series, featuring modular magazine systems compatible with Glock, EVO Scorpion, M31 drums, and more. We are dedicated to ongoing innovation and to designing products our customers can be proud to use.
