I will start with browning.com has a serial number service under customer service that will help you identify the year of production of your B-78 single shot rifle.The browning model B-78 was made during the years 1973-1982.I would have to say that all B-78 rifles were made by Mirouku of japan for browning,and these were fine made rifles.
The B78's were made for Browning by Miroku of Japan from 1973 to 1982 and the values vary a bit. A moderately used 78 in a popular caliber will run from $800 to $1500. Their popularity is apparently on the way back and Winchester has started making a Model 1885 which is basically the same gun with less flashy wood and not many chamberings. Browning had made an 1885 Model back in the 90's for a few years. I purchased a mint 6mm B-78 two years ago for $850 and thought it one hell of a deal.
The Browning 78 rifle has a weight of 8 lbs. and 6 oz. The product has limited distribution, and sells for $1,379.00.
