FS Browning BLR 81 in .308

Gentlemen:
I refer you to page 391 of S.P. Fjestad's Blue Book of Gun Values, Twenty-ninth Edition, wherein he refers to the Model BLR 81 Japan, manufactured by Miroku from 1974 to 1980. As a matter of fact, all the BLRs in his book, regardless of place of manufacture, are designated as "81s", except for the New Model Lightning BLRs, both Short and Long Action, manufactured by Miroku from 1995 to 2002. These do not have barrel bands but do have aluminium alloy receivers. The 81s are described as having a barrel band and a steel receiver.
