Eric Vang, 36, of Fresno, faces up to 10 years in prison following his guilty plea Monday in federal court.
According to court documents, a Chinese distributor mailed a package to Vang that contained parts to convert a Glock handgun into a fully automatic machine gun. Following a search of Vang’s residence, federal agents found and seized several other firearms and several parts resembling silencers for those firearms.
As a previously convicted felon, Vang is prohibited from possessing firearms.

Vang is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. O’Neill on Jan. 27, 2020.
