How rare is a Pattern 1914 MK I Eddystone ? Short bolt lug and non recessed barrel.

[M94/14]

Here in Canada, Mk1 P14's are relatively common. I see a few at almost every Gunshow I attend. Mind you, some are sportered, some are full military pattern, but here in Western Canada, they are not particularly rare.
My own example is an early Remington Mfg. from about the first or second day of production. It wears a "Fat Boy" stock, which it appears to be original to the rifle, and has had the volley sights removed, and also the stacking swivel, but still retains the Mk1 bolt and barrel.
It had been issued to India at some point in it's life where it was "Drilled" mercilessly, but shot little. I cleaned it up, installed a PH5B rear sight and it has become one of my better target rifles. Amazing accuracy!
