He admitted that he had not lubed or cleaned it. I hosed it down with Ballistol and they shot it all day without a failure. He was really thankful and it made his son's day.

[@thomasbraeking6225]

Ditto. My AR-7 was picky as all hell new out-of-the-box, even after a preliminary clean/lube. I tried something other than CCI after break-in/wear-in and will only use CCI from here on out. I found the assembly pretty easy and slick. Just have to have the receiver retention screw as far back as it will travel, seat the receiver, screw it together. Old mechanic's trick : turn the screw backwards until you feel it drop into the first thread.

not gonna lie, it would've been pretty cool (and funny at the same time) if Paul Harrell did a team video with Clint Smith of "Thunder Ranch", considering they're both retired law enforcement officers and Smith being a Vietnam Veteran on top of it.

[@thebenches360]

Just for reference, the sights on the Henry are "flippable". It comes with the(rather large) peep sight up, but can be rotated where the square notch is up, and becomes a standard square notch rear for the "conventional folks". Hope that helps.

Thank you! That is important news! Those expert shooters could have mentioned that pushing your shoulder farther forward makes the peep sight TIGHTER for a more precise aim. Or maybe they take that for granted and did it already?..........................elsullo

I own both the Henry AR7 and the Ruger 1022. I've had failures to feed, failure to ignite, and failure to eject in both guns. I believe this is because both of them are rimfire long guns.

Paul reminds me of my late friend, MSG Dave Harris. Dave was our unit administrator in my Army unit, and not long before we lost him to cancer, Dave was counselling a troop who tanked a PT test. After listening to the kid's excuses for about 10 minutes, Dave said, "I'm dying of cancer and I scored a 300 (perfect score). Tell me how any of your reasons matter?" Both men are definitely heros. I know I'm not alone in praying for a miracle for Paul.

​@@workingcountry1776 That can be a part of it. Also keep in mind the mics are omni, so they'll easily pick up both voices, which are different distances to the source. That is mainly what we are hearing. If you want to isolate voices for each mic, you need cardioid mics.

I replaced the rear sight on my 92fs. Removed the safety to get it off and well, the safety detent and spring went "boing!" lost forever in the carpet. From that day onward i'v decided if I ever become rich, I will make the spring room. It would be a small, very well lit and completely white room with no cracks anywhere so when I inevitably launch a spring again, I will be able to find it.... Also did that with a luger main spring, launching the part that holds the spring in place... found it after about 2 hours of searching. At least that part is a good bit larger haha.

[@BoC260]

I have two of the Charter Arm’s versions that people love to complain about. Like any 22LR, use decent ammo, and keep reasonably clean takes care of most problems. These two are a small sample but after 40+ years they chug along just fine with the original magazines. They are also supposed to float. After seeing a friend lose his inherited grandpas rifle (and grandma’s frying pan & paddle) during a late night canoe roll over. Suddenly the AR-7 looked a lot more attractive, and could double as paddle.

[@jefferyfite7122]

These rifles are neat looking, but I question the practicality of them. Wouldn't a good long barreled .22 revolver be more practical than a takedown rifle with no handguard? They're even more compact and .22 revolvers are typically not ammunition sensitive.

[@lohikarhu734]

but, how many pisyol shooters can match the accuracy of an average, or brlow-average rifle shooter at 25 metres/yards? And, if it's a 'survival' scenario, with limited ammunition, and having to take game at any required distance, you'd be better 'betting your life' on a rifle. It might also be that the difference in muzzle velocity would make a difference in lethality?

[@jefferyfite7122]

@@lohikarhu734 I don't dispute those things about standard rifles. I have a Winchester 9422 that takes down quite nicely and it's not ammunition specific either. My Smith & Wesson 17 revolver in .22 LR is just as accurate as that AR-7. It does take practice to shoot at that distance, but .22 LR is still very affordable. Yes there is a loss of energy and velocity at that distance. I can keep the revolver on my hip at the ready which is impossible for that rifle. I don't even see a sling attachment, and a rifle without a handguard doesn't seem all that practical to me. I think people buy them because they were used in a James Bond movie.

In defense of your brother, chemo is just unbelievably exhausting. Consider that what chemo actually is, is poisoning your entire body, aiming to kill enough cancer cells by simply killing lots and lots of all kinds of cells constantly, and this process just REALLY saps your energy, you will be so tired and weak all the time, and that's in addition to how you'll usually feel really nauseous all the time too. Perhaps your brother had simply given up, and maybe with the typical prognosis for pancreatic cancer, it felt too bleak for him and he lost all hope, but understand that he felt way more sick and way more weak than you've probably ever been.

Someone gave me an original Armalite AR7 25-30 yrs. ago. They had lost the butt plate and magazine and weren't interested enough in the rifle to source new parts. I found them online and ordered from a company in Connecticut. Took it apart and cleaned and oiled it. Took it the range and shot 2" groups at 25 yds. with zero malfunctions. It doesn't get out of the safe much these days but it still shoots well. My understanding is that the original Armalite version was good, but that other manufacturers in the interim were not. If the new Henry built guns are made to the same standards as my Henry Golden Boy lever gun, it should be a winner. Good to see Paul Harrell hanging tough !

But after adding a scope, the 24" barreled rifle got heavier. However, I eventually purchased a Ruger 10/22 Security model (25 round mag and 16" barrel) in Take Down form. It came in a nice little backpack. With a suppressor and compact scope, along with a few more 25 round mags and 300 round boxes of CCI, the backpack is full but easily carried on my aging back (75 years old). PS: Paul, keep on hanging in there. I've been "killed" several times, but each time the good Lord gives me another shot at life. Our family will keep you in our prayers.

building the gun while talking, showing its ease and speedy assembly, masterclass in review videos.

[@WREKLOC]

Roy has been doing a great job but we really missed you Paul. It was nice having you back!

[@HardwayRanch]

I bought my Armalite Rifle number 7 in 1984. I find it likes oil... same as that POS I suffered in the Army back then. BTW - the oil ruined the butt cap and I phoned Henry to ask them if they would sell me a replacement for my Armalite? They sent it out at no charge and ate the shipping also! Kudos to Henry for that.

[@jatpack3]

That is good to know about a company.

[@darksi226]

What a champ. How is Paul so good a shooting still. Amazing. No one else talks like him either. So dang entertaining.

[@KennethKlingler]

Great video! Love to see these "joint" works. And props to Jon for going up against Roy and Paul in front of the entirety of KZbin. Well done.

[@allthingsconsidered3211]

May Paul be blessed with a miraculous recovery

[@danielmaine45]

Great video! Love seeing additional crew members, welcome John!

[@nikmolotkow8904]

Great content gentlemen. Awesome to see you again Paul, keep healing. Roy is doing an amazing job and thanks to John and the rest of the crew for helping share your knowledge with us

[@JOROM90]

Never been so happy getting flipped off by Paul. Great seeing you on camera, sir!

[@littlejohnny4470]

One thing you must take into consideration regarding firearms, is that not all are created equal. Once, I bought two PARA USA P45-14 pistols. One I kept, and the other I gave to my son, who was in the Marine Corps at the time. I had to send mine back to the factory three times to correct several problems it had. My son never experienced any issues with his.

[@kaystrd]

You're looking great, Paul! Keep the videos coming. Roy is also doing a great job!

[@sgtcwhatley]

This video made me smile. It was wonderful to see Paul and Roy together, but my smile came from memories of my father telling me about the AR 7, the gun he didn't need, never bought but wouldn't it be cool to own. It even floats! I can still hear him say. Thanks for the memories guys.❤

[@daveh7720]

I have a Henry Survival Rifle and I found that it really doesn't like standard velocity and subsonic ammo, even from a name brand. I think they just don't have enough energy to cycle the action reliably. Feed failures were common. But high velocity ammo like the 36 grain Mini-Mags worked flawlessly, which was fine with me because that's what I prefer anyway.

[@Dan-gg8fk]

Looking good Paul. It's not only your good advice but the sound of your voice that has had me following your channel for years. It speaks trust. Thanks to Roy for everything he does. He's a cool guy.

[@dougt5357]

AND... Roy has the coolest hat goin'!

[@matthieuchampagne8140]

Happy to see you Paul, and you too Roy !

[@grundian]

Paul, thank you for all of your videos and your commitment to personal safety and smart firearm use and responsibility. My prayers are with you. So many tough men are soft-spoken. You are one of the toughest I've ever seen.

[@jimaureli6475]

Wow, SO great to see you again Paul, great shooting as usual, you are one impressive, inspirationl man.Thanks for all you are, and all you have done.

[@grudd61]

Seemed like a Laurel and Hardy skit there in the begining

[@deludedreality89]

Good to see y'all out there doing what y'all do best!

[@terryschiller2625]

Awesome to see Paul in yet another video! As others have said Paul your looking good so happy for you. I hope you really are feeling somewhat better considering your health. Paul as a friend it was a honor Sir to help. I have heard that one can also store extra rounds in the honey comb butt stock. I was wondering if that was true as I don't own a AR7. Good to see John he's starting to get a little more comfortable in front of the camera. Thanks Roy and Paul for all your hard work and time. Y'all are very appreciated!

[@user-oy9zz4wz1l]

The trick with the AR-7 is to use hot ammunition. It jams up with anything below 1200fps. The manual says this. Once I figured out what ammo works best, it runs like a champ. Two settings for the peep sights, by the way. Got mine dialed in to a minute of rabbit at 25 yards. That's all I need. Thank you, gents, for doing a review of this rifle!

[@GeoffSayre]

So good to see Paul out and shooting with Roy! Thank you both for another excellent present. Best wishes to Paul, and everyone on the crew too!

[@gregbilotta2472]

The Paul poker face when the fast hands Roy get building is always great to see

[@johnrugotzke3207]

Great to see Paul still showing them who's channel this is. I've had good success with my Henrry AR7.

[@FIyingPengwin]

Seeing Paul behind a firearm is always great. Especially when he nails it.

[@cryptowolf-zf3fs]

The Ruger 10/22 is the King in my humble opinion.

[@fin59shaw]

The 10/22 is the King, but the AR7 is pretty neat. Everything fits into the butt stock, and it floats!

[@ocalavictory3728]

​@@fin59shawNothing like the AR7 when used as a utility gun near the water or on a boat.

[@JuarezDerrick]

The Ruger 10/22 is only better than the Marlin model 60 because it has a detachable magazine! The Marlin model 60 with the micro grooved barrel is way more accurate!

[@fin59shaw]

@@JuarezDerrick Ha Ha, sometimes the most accurate gun doesn't really help me, but I do OK.

[@cryptowolf-zf3fs]

@@fin59shaw The Ruger 10/22 take down is a nice package, does not float. If someone has a boat. Then an AR7 would be a good idea to have as backup.

[@nonamedbro]

You are a God given gift to many sir. Thank you for choosing to share your knowledge and for building such a community for so many to enjoy and congregate in regardless of background and belief. You are the true embodiment of what a proper American, a proper man, should be. Tough in the face of adversity, a close relation with God, and great humility. I will keep you in my prayers sir. Stay blessed.

[@coreydarr8464]

Thank you Roy for taking care of your brother!🤗

[@burnyburnoutze2nd]

I was watching another video, and as soonnas I got the notification and saw it was a review on this rifle, I dropped what I was watching, grabbed and assembled my own Henry AR-7 and began watching this video! I am so happy to see Paul back with Roy reviewimg firearms again :D

[@dwaneanderson8039]

How's the reliability?

[@CitizenCarrier]

Those groups Paul got. Yep. Paul will always be the man! In more ways than one. I can only keep striving to see sights like Paul can. A high bar in my opinion!

[@mckinleygoetz9855]

I'm so glad to see Paul out and about more often. I've learned a lot about many different things, things I wouldn't have thought about otherwise. Thank you both for sharing your knowledge.
