They are, in general, available, but not so much as the unconverted rifle. They run the gambit on price. I've seen anything from $600 to $5,000 depending on condition and who's bidding.
Yes, My bad. I misunderstood "conversion" (I was thinking "kit"). I did some subsequent research after you posted. Seems like a nice little package....perhaps for my "next" one?!!
