    From what I gather they are quite rare.

    The is a little bit of info kicking around on this site once you can get around them moaning about the sharp series.

    I quite fancy one (replicar as want to shoot it) and from what I gather it was the first standard issued rifled weapon issued to the army, although useless with open sites.

    Seem to remember there was a pic of a guy holding one of the Baker replica he'd made in the current Target Sports magazine.

    I'll see if I can find it later (off out now) and, if there's a link given, post it.
