I'm kind of new here so I thought I'd ask before posting some stuff. Is anyone interested in AR-7 "Survival Rifles" built by various manufacturers from the 1950's to present?
I own 3 of them, 2 Charter arms and a "Gen 1" from Henry Repeating Arms (HRA). I have worked hard to understand them, make them work correctly and do some modifications. I have written a number of articles on them.
For a number of years they were pretty terrible, however, the most recent generation (there are 4 distinct generations of HRA AR-7s) are really pretty good rifles. If there is sufficient interest, I'll post some stuff, if not, I won't.
The photo below is of My Gen 1 HRA AR-7. Many years ago I upgraded the stocks and the sights as well as some of the internals to improve the trigger and it's pull as well as to eliminate failures to fire and eject.
Its a great little rifle for guys who like to tinker.
