45Doll 5,891 Posted November 17, 2020 Yesterday the NSSF released its latest report on firearms production and ownership. Among other data it says since 1990, there are an estimated 19.8 million Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) in circulation today. BINGO! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
