The Madsen Lightweight Military Rifle Model 1947

These rifles seem semi-common in the USA. Are there any floating around in Canada? I find them rather interesting and wouldn't mind adding 'the last general issue military bolt action' to be designed to my collection.
 
Joe Salter had one about 3 years ago with bayonet, I think he was asking $950.00 for it. I have not seen one since then.
 
I have seen several for sale in the last 6 years or so, all on the EE. They tend to move fast (one didn't but that was because they were asking a ridiculous price) and the only ones I have seen have been the .30-06 Columbian contract ones.
 
The one Joe had came from a Dr. in Sydney NS. I think it came with the sling.
I have a chromed (ceremonial) bayonet for one in my collection.
Its the closest I ever got to owning one.
