EAST ST. LOUIS — A Harrisburg man is facing federal charges for allegedly possessing, manufacturing, and importing unregistered firearms.

A federal grand jury charged Yaroslav Vishnevski, 31, with three counts of receipt or possession of an unregistered firearm, one count of manufacturing an NFA weapon without paying special occupancy tax, one count of illegal importation of a firearm, and one count of possession of a firearm with obliterated serial number.

The charges stem from an alleged incident on April 22 in which federal officials intercepted a parcel in route and addressed to Vishnevski from China containing two firearm silencers.

On May 2, the Illinois State Police with assistance from ATF and Homeland Security Investigations conducted a controlled delivery of the silencers to Vishnevski’s address and executed a search warrant of his residence.

As alleged in the complaint, 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.

During the search, law enforcement also observed a CNC machine, commonly known as a Ghost Gunner. Ghost Gunner machines are typically used to manufacture firearm receivers to complete production.

As outlined in the indictment, the Government is also seeking forfeiture of Vishnevski’s 9-millimeter Glock, a PMF AR-9 style rifle, a PMF AR-15 style rifle and a 12-gauge short-barreled shotgun.
