Is the AR-7 GOOD?
Range performance was quite good, with perfect reliability and decent accuracy at 50 yards. Despite a substantial amount of take-up—which posed a challenge during accuracy testing—the AR-7’s trigger, although slightly on the heavy side, had a clean let-off.

What is the best ammo for an AR-7?
With cheap, dirtier bulk ammo, such as Remington Golden Bullets and Winchester 333 Whitebox, the AR-7 was 99% reliable. I think this is excellent overall performance. On a side note, I’d highly recommend sticking with CCI ammo for survival ammo in this gun.

What ammo does the Henry Survival rifle use?
Henry recommends using only 40 grain HV round nose rounds. I use mini-mags in the gun and they work great. Stingers, with their slightly non-standard form factor, do not work well at all. This is also a good gun to use subsonic and “quiet” rounds, keeping in mind they will not cycle the ammo.

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.

How reliable is the Armalite AR-7?
An exploded view of the ArmaLite AR-7. For a rifle so relatively simple in design, the AR-7 had some reliability difficulties. Because the bolt is heavy for the otherwise lightweight rifle, it utilizes heavy-for-caliber dual recoil springs. Also, the feed ramp was susceptible to damage making feeding from the magazine problematic.
