    Alrighty Now - Ruger No 1 7.62x39 S/S Walnut

    I also have a 762x39 K1A no#1, they only made 262 of them so that is the cause of the high prices when you find them for sale.

    SR 223 & SR 762 gas system question

    I have the SR556E and it's the same as any AR15 type rifle, just pull the charging handle back and it will eject your spent round and then let the charging handle loose and it will feed and chamber the next round from the magazine.
