Okay....first lets clear-up (if only for me)....is this the current BG or the "real" BG, which is the M38. You can put a laser on an M38, but I assume you mean the current BG?

Used current BG.....don't have a clue, but I have read where some folks are having issues them them. I purchased two BG's at a gun show last week. An M38 for $339 and a M41 (same thing only all steel) for $350. In both cases....I think they were excellent deals at those prices. I know a dealer that sells the new BG's for around $479 plus tax as I recall. Hope this helps.
