We did a
review a little over a year ago of the AR-7..
but that was one with a cammo paint job.
While the guns have not changed in that time,
this one is a different color.. the more
standard black. Here are some photos of this
interesting and unique survival rifle
|
The whole rifle stows
away into the stock. The stock
floats, so while it may look big, this
rifle weighs almost nothing.
|
|
The cap comes off the
end of the stock and the receiver,
barrel and magazine fit into holes
in the hollow plastic stock.
|
|
The parts all screw together
with no tools or small parts or screws.
|
|
Every attachment screw
and nut is captured so they are always
right where you need them to assemble
the rifle
|
|
The AR7 is made of aluminum
and is painted so it is not the most
attractively finished rifle even when
in new condition
|
|
The stock is larger on
one side than the other to accommodate
the barrel inside the stock. This makes
it a bit unusual to shoot, but is easily
ignored by right hand shooters..
|
|
The assembled AR-7 is
a solid platform for the .22 long rifle.
These rifles are accurate and easy
to use
|
|
We've been asked about
the sights on the AR7. The AR7 has
a simple peep sight in the rear
 
|
|
The rear sight is part
of the receiver so it is quite strong
and will not snag on gear, clothing
or terrain
|
|
The front sight is a
simple blade in a dovetail
