Local pawn shop has one for $400 with plastic furniture. I don't have a beater in .308, but this might be some fun. Proly can get parts for it?
 
I have never seen one in person.

I don't believe very many of them were produced.

However, Gunplumber over on the FAL Files(owner of Arizona Response Systems) did a review a while back on them.

See his review here.

This is the Summary:

Summary

The Olympic Arms T48 2000 is a low quality, haphazardly assembled product. It is perhaps better than the Hesse, but definitely worse than a Century with an Imbel receiver. It is not as good as the Entre'prise or IAI (which are mediocre at best), and far below the quality of a and decent custom shop. The rifle does not appear to comply with federal import law or the assault weapons ban. I strongly recommend against purchasing this product at any price.


Again, I have no first hand knowlage of the product, but I trust Marks opinions.
