Edit:
Picked one up and hope to try it out Tuesday at the range. I'll post a review sometime next week.

I'm giving serious thought to picking up one of these this weekend.
The reviews are, in general, very positive but I am seeking feedback from my readers on this.

Hi Bax
ReplyDeleteI aquirred a used AR-7 about a year ago.It is a older model but I can tell you it is a neat little survival rifle.Its crude & by no means a match rifle but it will bag you some small game in a pinch.One drawback I must tell ya about is that you have to keep that sucker clean.Disassemble it and clean the reciver good and you should have no problems.Also try different ammo.Its a lil pickey as to what it is reliable with.With the above in mind I would recommend having one in you B O B. I never leave home without it.

ReplyDeleteMine was picky about ammo, but found something it liked.
It's short and not easy to shoot, but the fact that it stores in the butt makes it a "throw it in the trunk" tool. You could drive over it, I guess, but other than that it's indestructible.
I've had mine over 30 years and loved it from the first time I fired it. Accurate and never had a malfunction.
ReplyDeleteI had one years ago made by Charter Arms and loved it. With the factory magazine it was 100% reliable and decently accurate.
ReplyDeleteGreat gun. I think I might need to get another one now.
Thanks!!

The Henry AR7 is a much bet than the original one I had decades ago the Charter Arms version.But even the CA version was a good userful piece of kit, Henry just cleaned it up and refined it a bit.
ReplyDeleteBTW they must be kept clean, I kept mine in a ziplock back in my rucksack back then.
Its ideal for your back pack for getting small game, but dont think you can chase offf a griz with one :)
