Israeli AR-7 Pilot Survival Rifle

[@Spike-13]

Although we all know how picky these rifles can be, there's still something cool about it being a Stoner design. The wire stock really gives it a grease gun feel😎

@C-Bomb for survival? The gun/ammo would be much heavier.

AR7 is the most unreliable 22 i have ever owned

[@randmeller]

​@mussydesign7933 - then you were probably using the wrong ammo

[@billwaller2698]

I bought 2 back in the 90's and gave one to my son and I kept one. Neat little 22. I keep it apart in a romanian gas mask bag . Great little pack gun. You are the only other person that I have seen with one . Great find.

[@cooper10182]

As my grandpa said: it will hit where your aiming at and that's the most important thing. No thrills but reliable and accurate

[@LifeisGood762]

Cool gun thanks for sharing! I love the hodge podge of parts they had. FAL grip, Uzi sling and K98 front sight. Any day with Chad behind a .22 is a good day, watching him happy like that makes me happy in return.

[@rationalmind6362]

Chad, Great video, you doing a great job. I know we've all harassed you but you've stuck it out and come into your own. Barry was a hard act to follow and people miss him.

[@joshglover2370]

I miss the shit out of Barry, he was awesome! RIP 😭 I have never understood why some people don't like Chad though. I think he's pretty cool!

[@Johnny-jr2lq]

Right I never had any issues with Chad I believe he just didn’t like being in front of the camera. Honestly I wish he would do his own thing sometimes.

Chad is based and redpilled. He doesnt have the instant charisma of Eric, but the longer you listen to him, the more you realize he's equally as based as Eric.

[@bellakaldera3305]

I had a Charter Arms AR7, it was a bullet hose with terrible sights. I got a 25 round magazine and put so many .22s down range that I warped the barrel. Charter Arms was Stand Up guys and sent me another barrel, but I eventually swapped the thing for my first revolver (I was young) which turned out to be outright dangerous...but we learn.

[@EeZ3-808]

I still have my armalite AR-7 that was given to me by my granddad in the middle 80's. I had a 15 shot Ramline magazine for it than ran flawlessly. Lost that mag somehow and have been looking for one just like it ever since. Still shoots fine with the original magazine. Thanks for sharing yours with us! Aloha!!

[@philip6419]

Not sure if you're still around, but.. I too have a Armalite I brought back home in 1971 and I too have been looking for mags that will fit. Were you ever successful?

[@EeZ3-808]

@ hey there! Unfortunately i have never managed to find another large capacity magazine for it. I sure wish i never lost the one I had. I entered the Air Force in 1990 and when i finally came home, a lot of my things were gone. I’ve tried the newer magazines, the ones for the Henry survival rifles, and have not managed to get it to work right. Does yours have swirls of color in the plastic? Anyway.. thanks for responding to my comment. Good luck finding magazines. Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

It's just like my Henry AR-7 except it gets preferential hiring considerations in banking, media, academics, and government jobs.

I had a Armalite AR7 as a kid and shot many a case of 22lr through it. The rifle was very accurate and I never had a problem with it, later in my 20’s I sold it to a friend who still has it 30 years later.

[@Code_Made]

Yt unsubbed me. I swear I'm tired of them trying to control my content. Great vid as always guys

[@z3r0_35]

I don't have this exact version of the gun, but I do have Henry's version of this thing: the US Survival Rifle. Other than the need to use at least 40 grain .22 LR for the bolt to cycle properly (it'll still work with lighter loads, it just won't reload after shooting, making it function like a straight-pull bolt-action). Definitely a gun I'd recommend to anybody who needs a SHTF gun, if only to keep yourself fed and save ammo for your self-defense gun.

[@cjr4286]

That trigger reset sounds almost as loud as the shot on camera.

[@jamiesloan5902]

I love the 36g HP Mini Mags. It's my hunting ammo. I shoot Federal 36g HP "550 bulk" for plinking, because it hits the same POI as the MMs.

T Kuehn it’s not Palestine’s land, Jews have been in Israel since before the time of Jesus Christ, there was never any significant Arab majority in that land, the word Palestine didn’t become widespread until the British Empire colonized the land and subsequently used that name, and Israel is the only 1st world democracy in the middle east while groups like PLO want to turn it into a living hellscape as long as there aren’t any Jews there

Pot metal frame, sloppy trigger, loose tollerances. Yes, it sure is, My M6's is the exact opposite, btw. The AR-7's I have shot all have had issues except older ones and Henry's. That said, with the Israeli mods, these are great guns, actually.

[@nunyabidniz2868]

For all the length & supposed compactness, I suspect more utility could be had from a long-barrel 22 pistol with muzzle can and detachable stock. Of course, stateside you'd have two xfer tax stamps [one for SBR, one for the can] but in a military use context [pilot survival rig] it would make more sense than the rifle. Or maybe just a Skorpion w/ a can? Hmm...

[@scottdoran3112]

Great video Chad, thanks you guys have a good weekend!

[@retireditguy9493]

You didn't mention cleaning the AR-7. I have a Charter Arms AR-7 and the directions say if you want to clean the action you "leave assembled and wash in any petroleum solvent". I never could get that to work well. Removing the bolt for cleaning requires the removal of the receiver side plate and about a dozen little parts. Reassembly requires some experience and practice to be able to do it in a reasonable amount of time. The rifle is a lot of fun, but every time I clean My AR-7 I can't believe the same team who designed the AR-15 designed this rifle.

[@StPaul76]

Is it my imagination, due to some new audio or is that thing the loudest .22LR I've ever heard.? :D

[@unklemike5012]

Wow. I want one! All the handy of a 22lr (which I need after selling my 10/22 in the disability bankruptcy), AND all the beauty of surplus wear and tear! I would absolutely NOT have the self control to maintain it as a collectible, lol. But maybe I could get the Israeli mods on a modern gun.

[@cannonball666]

You forgot to mention the AR-7 survival rifle is designed for easy maintenance and can accept improvised lubricants in the field like hair gel.

[@dhern2613]

I would think a downed pilot trying to survive would want a suppressor. Or at least a flash hider instead of a muzzle break

[@jamiesloan5902]

I shoot my .22's more than any of my other guns. Good cheap training, and just flat out FUN! I've got a Taurus TX-22(amazing pistol) that has the same exact trigger, as my Canik TP9 SFx(4lb pull, with short reset), so I train often with the TX. I've also got a CMMG .22 conversion kit, for my AR. It runs great, so I use it a lot for training, too.

[@jackcooper4738]

Great video! I’ve been thinking about getting a survival rifle! I’m liking the idea of the new AR-7’s from Henry

[@cujothedogofwar]

My Henry's that accurate too, with a great rear aperture and orange front sight. I think I'd still rather have an H&K MP5 PDW and a Beretta 90-Two. Try some CCI Quik Shok/Segmented .22 LR, Brother!

[@kr6dr]

With the “spongy” recoil spring it will cycle with .22 short ammo, and it is as quiet as a cap gun.

[@tootall5559]

Early in the Bond series it was a Beretta 418 in 6.35mm or same as 25 auto, then they made him switch to a Walther PPK, (although in various movies he used a number of other guns this was his standard carry weapon) Oddly, in some of the films no gun is mentioned or used by Bond

Why don't you create a kit using a AR-15 grip a picatinny rail along with a front sight base to attach AR-15 sights. ( My personal choice of open sites would be the brown owls 360° barrel rear sight along with an h and k Style three quarter Circle front sight ) a dot Style Optical site. Just maybe you could work out something with Henry repeating arms to develop a aftermarket kit or a production rifle.
