Per the article, I believe it was family/friend transfer + gun sales = 22%.
If just gun sales, it was 13%. So from a Forbes article ...

Americans bought about 19.9 million firearms last year (2021), down 12.5% from 2020, according to one industry estimate — but 2021 was still the industry’s second-busiest year on record, as politics and public health continue to drive interest in owning guns.

Approx 19.9M x 13% = 2.6M gun sales occurred in 2021 without a background check
Obviously, still a very significant number.
