Terry,
There is a published number of about 19,500 made in various 22 calibers but I don’t know if that is accurate. I see them quite often for sale at auctions and at gun shows. The major issues when buying one is if it will feed the shell from the magazine since it uses a unusual tube magazine inside the normal mag tube which was prone to broken springs. The other issue is the bolt itself not firing the shell from being dry fired or a broken extractor. Bores were very poor condition due to black powder and not getting cleaned.
