Gun Trade World January Issue.

Looking ahead to a productive year.
In the USA, sales of guns and ammunition have returned to more normal

players in their home market – who have spent decades trying to make a big impact on a global scale without success.

They are the result of the work of one of the world’s top manufacturers of replica fi rearms together with the participation of passionate and very knowledgeable fans.

All this plus much much more in this months GTW!
