I believe each member had to purchase their own rifle, and the group made a mass purchase. I'm sure David's book has info on them, I've got a bit - 803 rifles made. How many still exist is unknown, you'd have to find them all and see which ones have been sporterized, mangled or rusted beyond repair.
