2016: Record Year for Gun Sales

I also. A black rifle to boot.

Why would you ever need that evil black rifle? Mine is burnt bronze lower and black/fde dressed.

2016 was a great year for me. I have most everything I want now...

Until you begin to Jones.

I did very little. Bills, kids, food ...

The majority of what I picked up last year was in trades. I dumped almost all my Mosins. I traded of 3 of those $70 junk Russian rifles for a new Marlin 1895. The last of the Mosins I got rid of got me a Springfield 1911 milspec and a PSA AR9. I also dumped a small boatload of surplus 54r.

Link to a doc on the FBI website that shows NICS checks by month and by state for Jan-Nov 2016.

It also breaks it down into "Permits", handguns, long guns, other, pawn, etc.

You can clearly see Kentucky's "churn," since they NICS check every license holder every month....
