Ruger #1-A blued 7.62X39

We just got a call, ruger has done a run of #1-A's in 7.62X39. These are standard blued/walnut rifle. We are getting five. As we just found out a few minutes ago, they missed the last liscense so will be here late september. If you want one, please call the store or PM here to pay or deposit!
This is the first time ruger has the 7.62X39 in a blued, they did a small run years ago in stainless.
$1449.00

This is intriguing! An inexpensive round for an expensive, old fashioned rifle. Half the reason I like shooting 7.62X39 is because the rifles are old.
The other half is because it is so inexpensive (rifle and rounds) There is still something appealing about this Ruger though. What am I sensing but
can't explain? Anyone have any insight? Is it the challenge of using a cartridge to its limits?

Maybe you've got gas.?

Still holding my breath looking for a stainless one.

Sorry. Couldn't help myself with the last comment.
One in blue or stainless would be pretty nice.

I got a big laugh out of your first comment, it was good fun and fair comment.
Why are you interested in a falling block in 7.62X39?

Really nice firearms that are also cheap to shoot are hard to resist.

will they be a .308 bore or .310-.311 bore

Another neat cartridge for the #1 would be 8x57js(8mm mauser) I would get one of those for sure.
