I learned Beeman researched them, but to manufacture them new would be tremendously expensive. The were very expensive to make in the 1700's, so you could imagine the cost today despite modern manufacture technique.

A little sidenote: The Austrian Army of the early 1800's outfitted special squadrons with 20 shot airguns, deadly out to 100m. Unlike their enemies, they had no voluminous clouds of blackpowder smoke to worry about, and could get off 12 shots to their opponants one.

You can also do a search for Lewis And Clark Air Rifle.. Beeman and a few others have found and have reproduced one just like the original. There is info on the web somewhere I read recently.
