Henry Survival Rifle (AR-7)
| Purpose built, breakdown survival
rifle.
The famous Henry
Survival Rifle, the latest incarnation of what was originally the U.S. Air Force AR-7
survival rifle. Originally, it was designed and manufactured by
Eugene Stoner and The Armalite corporation, then bought by
Charter arms in 1973, so it has been known as the Armalite
AR-7, the Charter Arms AR-7, or the AR-7 Explorer. |

The Henry U.S. Survival
rifle as it is now called, is currently
manufactured by Henry Repeating arms in New York. It is
an ultra-compact, ultra lightweight rifle that quickly
dissassembles into 3 parts, and fits inside its own
buttstock. The gun comes finished in camo, black, and
for some reason, Silver? ...not sure what the thinking was
there. The buttstock
will also accommodate two 8 round clips. No special tools are required
to break down or assemble the weapon. Durability has
been maximized by coating the internal parts, as
well as the ABS covered steel barrel, with Teflon.
The buttstock made from black polymer is marketed as waterproof and impervious to weather,
however some owners have occasionally reported
otherwise. |

The grooved
receiver rib allows for scope mounting, however there is
no room to keep the scope in the buttstock, so
it must be stored / carried separately. The Henry
survival rifle is purpose built as a survival rifle, originally
intended for use by pilots, but is widely recognized and
used by outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds. |
