Since
1959 the venerable AR-7 has been the choice of U.S. Air Force pilots
who need a small-caliber rifle they can count on should they have to
punch out over a remote area. Through the years the AR-7’s reputation
for portability, ease of operation and reliability has carried over to
the civilian world. Today it’s a favorite of bush pilots, backpackers
and backcountry adventurers who, like their Air Force counterparts, need
a rifle that’s easy to carry yet has the accuracy to reliably take down
small game.
Like the original Henry U.S. Survival Rifle, this
innovative, semi-automatic model is lightweight (3.5 lbs.) and highly
portable. At just 16.5? long, when all the components are stowed, it
easily fits into the cargo area of a plane, boat or in a backpack. It’s
chambered in .22 LR so you can carry a large quantity of ammunition
without adding much weight to your gear.
When disassembled the
pieces fit inside the impact-resistant, water resistant stock. Assembly
is as easy as attaching the receiver to the stock, inserting the barrel,
and screwing on the nut. In a few seconds, without any tools, the Henry
U.S. Survival AR-7 is ready for action. It comes standard with a sturdy
steel barrel covered in tough ABS plastic with a protective coating for
complete corrosion resistance. It’s engineered for perfect balance and
the ability to maintain its tack-driving accuracy, even after thousands
of rounds.
The Henry U.S. Survival AR-7 is equipped with an adjustable rear
sight and a blade front sight.
