A Harrisburg man is facing federal charges for possessing, manufacturing and importing unregistered firearms.
A federal grand jury charged 31-year-old Yaroslav Vishnevski with three counts of receipt or possession of unregistered firearm, one count of illegal importation of a firearm and one count of possession of firearm with obliterated serial number.
The charges stem from an incident on April 22 in which federal officials intercepted a parcel in route and addressed to Vishnevski from China containing two firearm silencers.
Law enforcement recovered the two silencers, a rifle with another unregistered silencer attached, three 3D printers, suspected 3D-printed silencers, 3D-printed firearm frames and receivers in different stages of manufacturing and two privately-made, unregistered short-barreled rifles.
The Government is also seeking forfeiture of four more guns in Vishnevski’s possession.
