I only have experience with the newer Miroku-made BLR, specifically a late 1990's Lightning chambered in .308. I have no complaints, and recently purchased one of the limited run of stainless-steel BLRs, and put another on layaway. The BLR handles VERY well for ME, being fast on target and well-balanced. I also appreciate the lefty-friendliness of the BLR. As for value of pre-owned BLRs, I cannot help there. There are some older posts that can be researched for more information, and also, take a look at leverguns.com.
