I have one of Bob burbridge's imports a 12/54 PF 332*** No4 Mk2 (F) I had looked all over or a mint condition rife from that year and found lots of dross priced between £300 and £500 sterling. Even those reportedly parade ground only never fired (lol) from dealers in the UKwere rubbish. So I very happily paid a little over the odds for a genuine perfect condition example. And I am going to shoot it because that's what it was made for, that is if I ever get to find a range in the north west of the UK that ain't almost closed down due to the inept government funding of the TA.
So if you can find one buy it cos there isn't an inexhaustible supply.
Rhodders.
