I have owned both Japan and Belgium built BLRs and noticed no difference in quality between them. The Belgium rifles were only made for a few years until production was moved to Japan to cut costs. I have never noticed any difference in value based on where they were built. Some people prefer these original all-steel rifles over the newer aluminum receiver models.

For what it is worth I personally like these early models better than the current production rifles.
