not particularly rare. I have owned four of them over the years. not difficult to reload and Lee makes 11mm/43 SPanish dies for 25 bucks. Workmanship is pretty impressive. Accuracy is OK and recoil is fairly stout. Price range for clean shootable rifles with nice bores is 350-1200+. Check out the seamless aluminum tube in the forend for the magazine. Oh yeah, the NRA book on assembly/disassembly is VERY helpful as there are some "tricks" to taking them apart and working the magazine cutoff.
