I like the improvements Henry has made over the years. I purchased my Charter Arms AR-7 Explorer II in 1974 for $75, shot it a few times, deployed (again) to Southeast Asia with the gun in storage and forgot about it. Just dug it out of an old storage box and it still looks NIB. Will be shooting it next week after I re-clean and lube it of course. Just thought y'all might be interested.

[@londart7040]

This is a AR 7 story from the sixties , I was working for Autostereo inc , as the head of the QC dept , we were having some problems with our flywheels that were produced by Withrow diecasting so I went to the source and while was there I noticed a big stack of AR 7 boxes so I asked what they were doing with them and they told me they made the rifles there and I asked if l could get one from them and they said sure for $ 35. dollars, the rest is history .

[@jherr888]

used by sean Connery as james bond from russia with love 1963

[@coryspang7548]

Yep, the caliber was rechambered to .25 ACP for the film, if I recall. It also had a suppressor-equiped barrel, an infra-red scope, and had a fine wooden buttstock / case. One of my favorite Bond film weapons aside from the Walther PPK

[@MoSportsUSA]

Just an interesting find, many of the honeycomb openings surrounding the stored receiver, barrel, and magazines can be used for extra ammunition storage. Some are very slightly too narrow but a 7/32 drill bit is just enough to open them to accommodate a few more rounds. With an extra magazine for the receiver (24 rounds) and filling all the honeycombs I could, I found storage for an additional 30+ rounds. This essentially results in about 55 rounds total.

[@grantkendrick277]

As a pilot this looks like an interesting addition to an emergency survival bag. Your engine cuts out on you over the wilderness, and having something like this could mean the difference between eating or not on any given day

[@Jesses001]

I love the AR-7, and I think Henry makes the best version of it. It even floats if you drop it in water, both in the stock, and fully put together.

[@Mrgunsngear]

looks like a fun little gun

[@LivingFreeInAWrangler]

Mrgunsngear Channel It is indeed. like said by others just be careful when you put in back in the stock. The front sight is a flexible plastic and moves fairly easy.

[@maxM38383]

I am a student pilot and I also do a lot of hiking and I got this as my very first gun and I love it and so does anybody who I show it to for the first time

[@radwayb]

I've had one since the late 90's. I love mine. I probably fall in love with this rifle when I watch the James Bond movie when he used one and it had a scope on it. my only real complaint is sometimes the magazines are very finicky. I assume the tolerances were a little open when they were being stamped.

[@MrPir84free]

+ken x There are better survival rifles than the AR7. Difference is weight and will it float, or do you not need or care about those characteristics. For example, the Marlin Papoose is a better rifle for about the same weight. The Ruger 10/22 Takedown has better ergonomics, but weighs more. Backpack rifle- I'd take the papoose. My papoose even has a threaded barrel. Here's a thought about a rifle that floats. I drop a Papoose in the river, it sinks to the bottom, and hopefully I can retrieve it.. If I drop a AR7 into the river, now it floats, but I gotta chase it to get it back. The problem with both is solved with paracord. that or don't drop it into the river.

[@jonhartz]

I learned to toss the bad mags, and now have a collection of good ones....

[@182QKFTW]

There are 25 round mags out there. I have 4, and most ran well. As a kid, I estimate I ran ~50,000 rounds through it from the late 70's through the early 90's. Stopped shooting it after a round exploded in the chamber and peppered me with debris without injury. I loved my Charter Arms AR-7

[@PucketyCrik]

Great review. I just bought a Henry AR-7 last week. Your demo and review was very informative. I learned a few things. I bought mine just for the camper and when I go exploring in my 4x4 tracker. I put a Bushnell shotgun scope on it, but took it off when storing. It fits in the box just fine. Can't wait to shoot a few rounds through it with and without the scope.

[@albikes8484]

I own one and i love it. I also owned a old Armalite version in my youth. Fun rifle to have. So easy to strip down and maintain.The rear peep sight on my Henry has two apertures large and small.You can really dial it in easily.

[@taxedtodeath3610]

My brother has one of the original ones. It is old and still works great! Its pretty accurate at closer ranges too

[@Hatch61]

Did you know that the AR-7 was used in a James Bond movie? It was a secret weapon in the 1963 "From Russia with love ". Growing up in that era, of course I have a Armalite, Charter Arms, and of course, the Henry. The movie had an impact on me, LOL.

[@mja9700]

You’re the first one I’ve seen who demonstrated that gun dropped into a pool of water and shoots it and IT WORKS. Usually.22 ammo doesn’t work well with water. Maybe if submerged for longer period of time, water will creep into the .22 bullet getting powder wet. Good good job bro thanks 🙏

[@loganJmalone]

I keep this gun and a fishing rod in my trunk. always comes in handy whether i am hiking or when a friend wants to go to the gun range last minute.

[@andrewsilver2336]

I bought one of these last year and have a bunch of fun shooting it. It is obviously not as accurate as my Savage Bolt action .22 but it was never intended for that. It is great to put in a backpack in case of emergency or just to take plinking. I love this gun!!

[@fxrober]

you really can count your shots you know...i've had two of these, both older Charter Arms models, and they are great with hi-vel ammo. You are the first reviewer I've seen actually test the water tightness, well done! These newer Henry models seem even nicer put together, though i haven't shot one yet.

[@theunknown596]

[@ericinman4819]

Florida Prepper he was shooting 6 in groups at 75 yds just the way it is. I believe with an optic and a good tightening on the barrel that those groups could be tightened up exceptionally better.

[@GraysonMckernan]

Alexei Borodin it's not actually that loose. In fact the more it's shot the tighter it gets.

[@Dick_Gozinya]

I've had my Armalite AR7 for maybe close to 25 years now. It's still a great little shoot. My kids love it.

[@MtnBadger]

A lot of 4x4 enthusiasts seek a very light, stuff under a seat and forget it emergency rifle, fun rifle, hunting rifle and this fits the bill. I got mine when it was still the first gem Henry and I love it. There are things I like about this generation and some I don't. I don't have any reason for the orange, the sight is particularly obnoxious, but I like the rail option and improved barrel mechanics. I'd not trade mine at all. The best part is that it's also very accurate for the design. Any little critter 50 yards out is dinner. It floats long enough that when you dump your canoe or kick It off the dock, it's not lost. They are a LOT of fun and don't have the bad things the original AR7 had, like stck cracking. Go get one!

When the Henry magazines are loaded, make sure you tip the last bullet upwards so that it can travel up the ramp of the magazine (yes, it does have a ramp). If the round isn't loaded properly, you may have a feeding problem. The gun used to be a jammer, but Henry really made it work. Electrical/duct tape can prevent leaks if the gun takes a spill. A bore snake works well on this gun. Another thing not to do is don't buy a replacement barrel for this gun. It adds weight without offering anything in return. Sure, it may give you more accuracy, but it's got a great barrel on it. Very good accuracy and light on its feet. Go shoot down a Russian helicopter.

[@ckim6400]

It was really meant to float with the parts in the stock. I would be cautious of floating it assembled as I'm sure any steel springs would rust if not properly cleaned. I use to own the Charter Arms AR-7 I still have the pistol with a suppressed barrel.

[@jaredpodgorny6779]

It's more likely to be dropped in the water assembled in a tactical situation, so the buoyancy in this format is most useful

[@MrPir84free]

The stock floats.. True, but it's not watertight as many owners have written about that. Water gets inside.. That's where it will rust- inside it's own case. Here's a dilemma with a floating rifle- assembled or not. If you drop it into a pool, that's great that it floats. If you drop it into a river, you might end up getting your exercise chasing it. If you had a different survival rifle, it might not float, but it might also sink, and not go as far. Both dilemmas could be solved with a piece of paracord.

[@ckim6400]

Well I could just wear my Glock 17 in a Serpa holster and keep it on my belt. Then I could use the para cord for something useful. I've been swimming with my Glock on and never had any issues. Mad Dawg just messing with you!

I got my AR-7 last Christmas. I love it. I run Remington green box 1230 fps. Works great. The magazines feed the rifle just fine. Winchester white box hollow points are great runners also. Its the most concealable rifle as a truck gun. You can't hide a 10/22 as easy as an AR7. Even the Ruger take down model takes up more space in a vehicle.

More survival firearms videos like this one, please! Something you may want to bring up is ammo weight. 22lr is around 135 rounds to the pound +/- 2. Other rounds, from what I have researched, are around 30-40 for 9mm and 223/556.

[@DB.KOOPER]

One of mine has been down over 78 rivers and it lives in my dry-box on my Aire Cat... Along with my usual 10mm G20 It's been an excellent little travel companion and the other lives in my Truck year round (comes out to be checked and cleaned regularly) and again... awesome little rifle that serves it's purpose. Mine are older versions and the top rail/hood sight looks really cool as well. I would also LOVE to find a good, reliable way to suppress one because on some of the rivers we run, having to discharge a firearm would mean not seeing another bit of wildlife for the remainder of the float and that's half the awesome experience of being in such a remote place and traveling by Raft/Cat/etc... I've already had an experience like that in Hells Canyon when a friend who was a little trigger happy, and an idiot, ripped off a shot from the old .357 Wheel-Gun we carried back then (this was over 20 years ago on one of our first solo trips as teenagers) and it took 4 days and a complete change in the canyon (the Imnaha confluence for anyone who knows the Snake down-river of the Dam) for the animals to come back around and the echo was INCREDIBLY loud and carried who knows how far... Luckily we were alone and it was very early season... point being suppressors are just good ideas and the more firearms I can suppress the better IMO, including the little AR7.

[@dirtshower250]

Have just started watching this video, But I want to say that I have one of these ar7's and they are so badass. It it the most accurate rifle I have ever shot when it comes to iron sights. Being able to put this thing together in less then a minute and shoot straight with no fiddling around is awesome. It does feel like a toy gun but I think that adds to the coolness. The one issue I have is there are no more after market mags for it. You can only get the 8 round factory mag VERY rarely a 10 round will show up but I think they are for the older version that will not work in this one, I picked up two at a gun show and they will not fit my ar7 and you cannot find any other mags like 15 rounders and more. There is a company that makes barrels and such, they do make a thread adapter that you can put a silencer on and I'm going to be getting that oil filter adapter and a tax stamp to use it! Also this gun prefers hot rounds, I've ran some heavier lower grain rounds and it won't cycle them. It runs on cci mini mags flawlessly but it will shoot other rounds I'm still experimenting with them. All in all the gun is super fun!

[@416loren]

I love this gun. It stows nicely behind the seat of the pick-up.

[@mingheemouse]

I have a 25 year old version from another company, and Henry sold me one of their upgraded stocks. That new stock fits perfectly, and is orders of magnitude better than the original (pre-Henry) stocks.

[@Psiberzerker]

I went with something very similar, I found in a pawn shop: An Inglis High Power, which is one of the few weapons you can get that's exempt from the SBR classification under the NFA, it's a pistol. With a shoulder stock you can slide it in, and use like a holster. It's a little bulkier than what you have there, but straps onto a BOB even better, and fits in standard Hi Power Holsters. For those of you who aren't familiar, you're basically talking about the same system as a 1911 (The Browning Hi-Power, that is) in all practical considerations except for Caliber (Smaller) and Capacity (Greater) Lots of after-market parts, including 13, and 15 round double stacks in 9mm Parabellum. Not as light as .22LR, but more capable when you're looking at larger game, and 2 legged threats.

[@Psiberzerker]

It's not waterproof, but it floats. A compromise in all respects, but one I can live with. With a good trigger/finger, you can doubletap with the pistol. With the shoulder-stock, and practice, it'll bring down a Bear. If it's not powerful enough, shoot it again.

[@enigmarocker]

Henry did an incredible job with their AR-7 Survival Rifle. Charter Arms' version in my own opinion, was a piece of garbage that might fail when one most needed it. Henry has really proven just how great their design and manufacturing skills are by redeeming the reputation of the AR-7. I would also say that Henry's manufacturing consistency is fantastic as well, since I own several of their AR-7's with serial numbers that are pretty far apart from one another, and each one of my AR-7's are perfect guns with no flaws so far. I own a lot of really great rifles, and ironically it's the little quirky AR-7 that I love the most, thanks to its original designer, its history, its purpose and capabilities, and the price is fantastic. To me, it's a preppers dream gun. It will always make for an excellent backup rifle to an AR-15 or higher caliber; or it makes for a great primary rifle as an ultra-light and compact rifle for a hiker/prepper. I recommend everyone add one of these AR-7's to their collection or kit. Safe travels and God Bless America. Hooah!

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Seeing this gun always makes me wish the M6 scout was still being manufactured or wasn't stupid expensive.

For some reason mine will only cycle a new round if it's a CCI. Those Federals and the other cheap 22 rounds apparently don't have enough powder to sufficiently kick back the bolt far enough to chamber another round.

[@johnnewcomb2991]

I've had one of these for a while and I do use it as a range toy. I don't know why but he has had more misfires in this video than I have in almost 800 rounds of shooting. And if I'm remembering correctly my misfires were mostly due to the Browning solid lead rounds I like to use. The bullet itself would get loose in the casing and not feed correctly into the chamber. Other than a couple of those I've had a handful of shots where the powder didn't ignite. But I believe that's it.

[@Zenmaster4596]

I like my Henry US Survival rifle. Mine can reach up to 75 yards with peep sights at medium and large 22 swinging targets. Great gun to have in my backpack or a carry case. My case can let me stare survival items or 22 ammo and has magazine loops made to hold 5 extra giving you 8 total magazines with 3 in the stock.

Great little inexpensive truck/pack/plane/car gun. doesn't take up much space, and when it's packed up in it's stored configuration, it's not obvious that it's a complete firearm.

AR-7 was my first ever gun, still love to bring it out to the range and plink with it

Mine runs sniper subsonics just fine, but its also the older model, (still made by henry and has a solid scope rail, but its narrower and only has one internal mag holder). It does like hot copper ammo like stinger and velociters, but mine cycles cci blazer lead with no problems. Its a great backpacking gun due to its weight, and its accurate enough to hunt with.

A story for another time? A story I look forward to. ;-) God bless sir.

[@davidporowski9512]

integral suppressed Henry AR-7 that still fits in the shoulder stock sounds damn near perfect combination.

Great little firearm, somewhat a rifle you have to be gentle with. The magazines are also something you have to baby. They are honestly not built like tanks YET they are fantastic bug out bag rifles. Excellent for space, weight and firepower to do enough with what you would need it to do. 8/10 Rifle.

Not sure if I missed it in the video, but you can store 3 magazines total. One in the receiver, 2 in the stock slots.

[@BangBangBo]

Yup I missed it hah, but still worth keeping in mind.

Now this is groovy. I like the airgun mods people've done for super compact "survival rifles" . plus pellets are cheap as chips

I 've watched this and one of Paul Harrell's last videos on this rifle. I'm ready to buy one.
