This one just sold on GunAuctions for $405. I have noticed the Navy Arms rifles on a regular basis, this one appeared to be new.44-40 Willy wrote:Navy Arms used to import SMLE's converted to 45-70.

The last available through Gibbs, not the Navy Arms, but the Frontier Carbines are pretty good looking rifles.
