My funding is limited to my VA disability and Navy retirement (minus the 25% they gave the ex), so money is an issue. I saved up and have bought one of these. Money well spent. .22lr is cheaper than any other caliber and this is quite accurate within its design range. Also saved up and bought a used 1911 .45 pistol. Also quite accurate within its design range. I can harvest small game with the AR7, and I can stop any threat up to and including Black Bear with a .45, which is the largest carnivore in the area. Reasonable prices on both .22lr and .45 acp
No one has ever asked to "try one of my guns"...until i pull out the henry. Nothing but smiles. The consensus after shooting is that rifle goes to the top of their SHTF list.
I've got one of these rifles. Great little gun. Henry took the design and tweaked the bugs out of it and in doing so created a reliable little fun gun. Anyone who trash talks these guns is simply rehashing information based on the older guns and is not versed on these new rifles. I highly recommend these little guns for behind the truck seat or for a pack on a hike etc, where a compact rifle is required.
A simple cut from a "sand" bicycle tire tube will snugly secure and waterproof the seam of the rifle. Great vid.
I'd wrap some electrical tape around the seam, to waterproof it ( no gasket? ).
I'd also add a buttstock sling adapter and a buttstock magazine pouch.
I have had mine for a while and have had some fun with it. I need to get the survival kit from Henry too!
perhaps one of my all time favorite firearms
I bought the extra 8 shot mag and 2 15 shot mags. Enjoy this for emergency and the small breakdown size and weight.
I love this gun , i had one when i was growing up . You guys are lucky over there in the States . I live in Australia and about 10 years ago our government band all stuff like that .
EarlyMist I'm hearing ya
This has become my favorite .22 rifle. Now I'm looking for a way to attach two sling points, and the right scope for the Weaver rail.
I gotta get me one of these! I do a lot of kayaking & hate taking a pistol even though I have 3 dry wells. I take my grandchildren 2 at a time out with me in lakes in GA that have been known to have gators. I grew up in South Louisiana & all it takes is a 22 lr to kill one, I've done it! Couple that with the ability to have in a pack is excellent! As mentioned, it can come in handy when hiking with my 3 dogs, just in case something were to happen like getting lost, while unlikely where we usually go but we're moving to TN as soon as we can so this would allow me to hunt to feed us all!
I dearly love this channel, the store is awesome with quick delivery even with the c19 mess! Highly recommend it! Got some really cool stuff. The knives are above my pay grade so are on my list of "wishes"!
I’ve had an old armalite AR7 for years good little guns use to be my Jeep gun switched to a Ruger 10-22 take down its a little bigger and takes up a little more room but still fits in the limited space of a Packed up Jeep and would fit in a pack. I prefer the 10-22 takes down it feels like a rifle and is more accurate and dependable never shot a Henry AR7 but my armalite jams pretty regularly. Still good gun for what it is.
I had one of these several years ago. After the potted metal receiver literally blew apart, no injuries to myself or bystanders, I swore I'd never own another one. BTW, I was shooting standard velocity.22LR ammunition. I don't remember who manufactured it back then, possibly Charter Arms? They offered to replace it... "Thanks, but... no thanks", I said. Hopefully Henry Repeating Arms has eliminated that problem.
I designed it for Henry Rifles Henry repeating arms there's also a larger caliber coming onto the market
Have the original Charter Arms AR -7 and other than needing a touch up on the finish, it works fine! Looking forward to trying out my Henry Arms AR -7 and compare the two.
I had one of the Charter Arms AR7; never had any problems with it. It always was a crowd pleaser at the range. Big gripe was no way to mount an optic. A small profile red dot would of made it much easier for old eyes. Henry will soon have one in 22mag. It should be the hands down favorite; my best guess. The magnum is my choice for a one gun armory.
Great review thanks Jack. Not sure why so many people hate the 22? its a super capable and reliable round. And its cheap to boot! $19.99 for 500 rounds. I have done a fair bit of hunting and trapping, and I have taken down everything from squirrels to coyotes with a 22.
A well placed round will drop just about anything. Steadiness and nerves of steel will far outperform any single caliber.
The store I work for has them for $20 and I get them even cheaper with my discount. Up here in Canada we have no ammo shortage at all lol.
lucky Canadian bastard 😂

Mine is a jam-o-matic when I use regular .22 ammo. I have to use CCI Mini Mags in order for my rifle to function like it should.
I have had problems with some ammo, Remington Golden Bullets seem to work the best for me. Never had a problem with 'em
Nice video Jack. I've had an AR-7 for about 10 years now (it's a Henry) and really enjoy it.
It's a pretty cool little package and I thought about picking one up but I happened to walk into a deal on a savage 24 .22mag/20ga.
But the semi auto function is for sure an advantage in its own right.
Another GREAT review Jack. Keep it up!
Nice rifle, I have the Sub 2000 so I carry ammo for my pistol also. I use the scope as my monocular too.
La puedo conseguir en colombia
Great little rifle. Thanks for the demo. atb
I have a Chiappa little badger .22lr. I like the peep sights on the Chiappa better than the AR-7 and the Chiappa is a bit more accurate. AR-7 has the Chiappa beat on portability.
+Pernicious Infidel Chiapas's will go off on their own too. Be careful not to shoot your buddy.
I just purchased one myself for the same reasons and I'm dying to try it out.
that was a good review of the rifle i also have it i was surprised and how good it shoots even after taking it apart and putting it back together the only bad part (witch might not be bad) is that you have to use high velocity rounds unless you want to rack it every round yourself
I don't mind the 22 but it isn't the biggest of rounds. At the camp i'm a staffer at that's what we shoot. It is reliable but not big enough for what I do.
Amigo cuanto cuesta en peso colombiano gracias
Great shootin'! That would be great for a bug out bag, I'm already thinking about getting one. I like how compact it is, plus with
.22 you can carry much more ammo than you could with 5.56 or .223 ammo. Also you can still take down some bigger game with .22, because Chris McCandless took down a moose with his .22! Therefore, it is pretty versatile.
Thanks. Yes I think it would be excellent in a bug out bag. Being lightweight I can supplement your battle rifle, shotgun, pistol, etc.
I love these guns, I think everyone needs one for there B.O.B. Plus they are fun to shoot!

The fact that they float raised the coolness factor of the gun a few points, lol..
it is very cool and i agree
I wonder if a piece of Saran Wrap or press and seal over the back before placing the butt cap back on would help with water tightness?
for my kit I prefer the ruger 10-22 take-down brush stainless model.
I put a sling & a flashlight on it & carved a slot for a fire steel to slide in flush.
if you don't have another gun with you I'd be confident in it and a few bx25 mags (if it's all I had with me ). I've shot over 4,000 rounds through it of various CCI & federal ammo with out a miss.. no jams anything. I've killed a 500lb wild boar with it from 30 yards away dropped dead head shot.(it was trapped in a cage). I would feel confident hunting small & large game with it. it takes getting used to but with the iron sights I can put it between a squirrels eyes.
pests beware with the flash light at night a raccoons eyes light up at 100 yards with my streamlight attached.
Just thought your AR-7 fans would like to know that there is an excellent article in the January 2017 issue of American Rifleman magazine on the history of the AR-7. If you're an AR-7 fan (like me) you gotta read this. My AR-7 is a Charter Arms purchased in 1991. I won't go into detail of my experiences (good and bad) with this gun. Another fun and interesting article is from a magazine titled "Popular .22's" published in 1983 (I think) by gun guru Phil Engledrum (apologies to Phil if I misspelled his name) that is chock full of information. This is not a plug for the NRA, however if you're a gun owner it's worth considering.
Beg, borrow, steal (or buy) this issue of American Rifleman, you gotta read this.
As always very clear, concise and informative! On the chance that you may have skimmed through The Henry Rifles Catalog. If you were given the choice of various calibers avail for the Henry Mares Leg rifle which might you choose & why? I know your a busy man, so if and when time will allow. Thank you in advance.
Very nice.
Great pack gun ! Thanks.
I likke how it breaks down .into a compact size.
It doesn't float, but you could use a waterproof backpack that does float and keep it in there... so what do you think of a Keltec Sub-2000 9mm folder, or their folder SU-16c, or a PLR-16 .223 pistol with a strap which you can tension to turn in to a kind of inverse buttstock by pushing away from you?
I mention those just because they are also cheap and compact, and 9mm and .223 seems like a more all-purpose round. The Sub-2000 I thought would be neat if you already carry say a glock 19, since they share magazines, so you have a backup as well as something with a little more power (on account of the barrel length) and accuracy for long range (shouldered and bigger site radius of the rifle).

Henry survival rifle or Keltec sub 2000 either gen??
Just picked this up today used needs a new butt stock cover. It's cracked used super glue and electrics tape. Lol yes I know it's just until my replacement comes in. And why you would choose either one.
Thanks for the review of a great product that I didn't know existed. My birthday is coming up, so I sent a link of this video to Wifey.
I have a scope mount for my Charter Arms and did have a 25 round mag that was plastic and the feed guides broke . I guess my question is does anyone know where you can get after market parts ??
This is an amazing gun, I have owned several of them from Armalite to Charter Arms to Henry Repeating Arms. However, the Henry 2017 version parts are heavy and the stock is much slimmer and though that isn't an issue, it WILL NOT float. It will sink like a large stone. I absolutely still love mine but again, it will not float. I will keep my 2017 version, but will get an other late 90's or early 2000's versions Or older versions from Armalite and Charter Arms. Great video and keep up the great work.
were could a person aquire a ar7 explorer in the own state or can they be shipped
Deliver 8 shots...with absolute precision!
How does this compare to a Ruger 10/22 Takedown?
Three to four magazines and 500 rounds of ammo and the AR-7 is still lighter than a Ar 15 and one Mag.
but I have both and have my Ar -7 in my pack to go with my AR-15 it is a good companion gun.
ya need it to float use electrical tape around the but buthead
for it being military grade, i'm surprised it's not completely waterproof.
Very cool weapon, nice video
It looks like something good to have but how much is it?
Ya know what would be nice for this piece? a mod kit that you can use to turn it into a pistol.
jdzencelowcz illegal
@@bushwhackedonvhs the govt is illegal.
And unconstitutional.
Most people have no idea that codes, statutes and ordinances are not laws.
6:58 I can vouch for that most of time you won't even see them depending where your hunting
Cómo puedo conseguir una culata para mí 22 tengo uno pero lla notrae la orijinal
Great video
Great video. I had and still have one from the early 80's or maybe late 70's even when it was Charter Arms and the biggest piece of crap I've ever seen. I keep it just because I don't have the guts to pawn it off on someone else. I couldn't sleep at night if I did some thing THAT low. I think I'm going to get one of these new ones and give it a try. I do love the idea. Keep up the great work.
Thank you. Yes this is the second I've owned and I've had no problems with them.
I wouldn't take the ar7 serious, it's too highpointish.
A Chiapa lil badger for a light foldable rifle and your sidearm seems to be a better choice.
Kinda hard for one gun to pull off food procurement, defense, being light with high capacity and no magazine to fail.
Ruger LCR in 22lr or 22mag with a 4"or 6"bl and a pair of speed loaders would be pretty close to " the perfect one gun", If they made a camp gun version with a10rd cylinder that would be AWSOME !!
Try shooting one The Henry is a great gun.I love mine. Every gun has its purpose. You wouldn't try and drop a moose with a 223 or a 22.
I have a old charter arms.
I had the rifle but not the kit I wish I had both I recommend it the whole kit
We sell a very similar one on our website
Hey blacks out or anyone else I have one question about para cord , does it hold knots well?
very well
Thank you very much
can you shoot 22lr in a marlin 22mag bolt action , I know it is not tested and would probably shave lead but what do you think
Do you get the kit when you buy the rifle?
Will the threads strip?
Would you believe that this gunis strictly forbidden in Germany just because it is modular?
That's odd
Most guys are banned for stupid reasons.
Great review brother ! I just got mine the other day !! :D
i saw that on instagram. hope you enjoy it
Yea, I think I will.... I am going to order a couple more magazines for it from Henry and I might get the Survival Kit as well..
Post a vid. I'm looking to get one also. Used to have one when i was 13. Then moving around got lost.
im new to guns i would like to get this for my survival pack but i just need to know where you can purchase it and how much it is
any gun shop should be able to get it for you . I paid 250.00 for mine just recently.
did that include tax? im interested in getting one from my local gun shop.
Yes I believe that was out the door price.
thanks!
Thanks
hey bro what's the range for this rifle?
I disagree, this weapon is unreliable and hard to clean. Build a lightweight ar-15 and add a cmmg .22lr adaptor kit. If you want something lighter get a ruger mark 3 pistol. Added bonus is some models can be suppressed which would be more useful when trying to hunt game. But still a decent weapon, quite accurate. I had one for some item but don't recommend them.
I don't think the USAF ever used the AR-7. It was made for the civilian market.
I've killed a 300 lb boar with my 22 lr from 100 yards. I hit him in the gut so he didn't exactly drop dead. I have also dropped a 150 lb boar from 100 yards with a headshot so if u shoot someone with a 22 in the upper body they are dead
can you use it without the stock? what would happen
best question I've heard.
Yes
Nice little rifle and would like to have one but they are too expensive. They shouldn't cost more than about $100.00 at the most.
I definitely want one of these. Are they fairly accurate??
Yes. Trigger is heavy but its a survival rifle, not a precision rifle. It is accurate despite the heavy trigger.
what rifle do pilots use now?
Reverend Grunge As a Private Pilot carrying firearms can be a little tricky but where I live you can usually carry at least a pistol in a smaller aircraft. From what I understand military pilots (nutnfancy knows way more) will carry a pistol and a carbine of their choice room allowing. The only reason to carry a rifle for emergencies in an aircraft in the United States with you is for hunting small game if you crash and are gonna be down for maybe a week so generally gonna be more of bush pilots or Cross Country trips going over wilderness. But in general most will take a small .22 rifle like this.
I see you got the american sniper watch ;)
I got one at an NRA deal
Reminds me of a C96
Nice!
will it shoot stingers?
Yes. It has shot just about anything I have fed it.
In the Poor Man's James Bond, it tells how to turn the AR-7 into a full auto machine pistol...with silencer..
Ooh oh I want
good video...
So... what's in the can????
+TD Nolting use that link below for the video
I love mine. Imagine getting hit with a .22 (If you`re not dead) and there`s no hospitals. #1 choice .22 IMO
How much is that rifle?
Mine was around $216.
Screws into the receiver.
Uma pena aqui no Brasil ser tão burocrático na aquisição de uma arma de fogo.
O Estado tem o dever de proteger o povo, segundo a constituição, mas o faz de maneira precária e ainda por cima, nos privam o direito da auto defesa, nosso e de nossos familiares e nosso patrimônio. Enfim, espero que um dia essa situação mude.

Kind regards from Amsterdam
8 .22 rounds will at least disable an aggressor, and will most likely kill them.
I keep one of these in my shower just Incase. You never know. 👍🏽
Having one in the shower would have changed the movie “Psycho” into a whole different Hitchcock flick!
@@smudgey1kenobey yes you right it would have lol
If they made this in .22wmr (even if bolt action with a mag) they'd sell a trillion of them.
+russwelday actually they did have one very close to this one made by armalite as well. it was designated the AR-5. it was bolt action but it was 22 hornet not 22 wmr .
👍😎
great gun for kids you bring with you at the shooting range and theyre bored as fuck and won lt stop asking to shoot too but you know they cant handle the recoil this gun is compact has no recoil ammo is cheap so
How much 💰💵💸
Mine was around $216.
"ya know"...
I must have one!!!!!! To my wife . . . .birthday is coming. Hint Hint.
