Henry AR7 Survival .22
Thinking of getting one for canoe trips and such. They seem small and handy, anyone own one?

Bump for the AM crowd and recommendations on a small scope for it too.

Is that the one what breaks down and stores into the buttstock? Cool little gun. Perfect for the backpack, and I believe it even floats when stored. Can't go wrong with a .22 if you don't have one.

Re: Henry AR7 Survival .22
I have a Charter Arms version from a few years back. Its ok, a novelty, not accurate past 25 yards. Maybe the new Henry's are more accurate..

It's picky about ammo, jams every 5th shot..

but!

Everyone who sees it immediately loves it, it does breakdown easily and nicely..
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.

Yeah, it wouldn't be my "go to" .22. Just for a couple interior canoe trips a year and maybe some plinking.

Since Canada has such ridiculous gun laws, I guess a pistol is out of the question.

Re: Henry AR7 Survival .22
Also mad loud for such a tiny gun!
If you remember to continually tighten the barrel nut after every few shots its ok.

The Kel-Tec Sub-2000 is sooooo much cooler and more effective.

Re: Henry AR7 Survival .22
my thinking is if the firearm is going to suffer years of neglect most likely (packed away and forgotten most the time in harsh conditions the rest) then go with something simple

You might want to look at the Marlin "Papoose", it doesn't float but it does break down. The Henry AR7 is known to have feeding issues and be finicky with ammo brands/types.

I have the Henry version, but replaced the barrel with one of these: [link to www.hi-desertdog.com (secure)] so I can use my Gemtec on it. [link to www.gem-tech.com]

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 257017


Pistols (barrel length greater than 4") are legal with the correct license (2-day easy course), however carrying them is not. You can only take your handgun from your home to the shooting range/club listed on your "Authorization to Transport (ATT)" form which you get once you become a member of a shooting club. If you need to transport the pistol to a different range (for a competition, etc.) or gunsmith, etc. you need to call in and inform the chief firearms officer of the date(s) and locations.

No carry or discharge is permitted outside of a proper shooting range. Yes, that also means that it's technically illegal to shoot a handgun on your own property, no matter how remote said property is.

Sucks, but I guess it's better than no handguns at all like in the UK. if TSHTF no-one will be checking licenses and ATT forms lol.

The Papoose is another I was looking at. I like the self contained ability of the AR7 though. I do a lot of canoeing, might be nice to have something that I can get wet.

No issues, but I always put 1 tiny drop of loctite on the barrel when I shoot it. I bought extended mags for it, and have no feed jams. I did mod the receiver a bit though.

It is hollywood quiet with subsonic hollowpoints, one of the keys to E&E..

Re: Henry AR7 Survival .22
Find you a Rossi pump .22. They make a small model that breaks down in the middle. Better gun and MUCH more accurate.

I sold my AR-7 b/c it really was junk.

Re: Henry AR7 Survival .22
I had almost decided to get the Marlin Papoose, but the AR is a better design for what I'll be using it for. The AR7 is only $230, so I'll give er a try. At worst it will end up being a handy novelty piece in my collection. Thanks for the input.
