<p>The prototype of what would become the AR-7 was designed by Eugene Stoner at <a
href="/wiki/ArmaLite" title="ArmaLite">ArmaLite</a> Inc., a division of <a
href="/wiki/Fairchild_Aircraft" title="Fairchild Aircraft">Fairchild Aircraft</a>.
The rifle shares some of the features of the <a href="/wiki/Bolt-action" class="mw-

Force">United States Air Force</a> in 1956 as the MA-1.<sup id="cite_ref-2"
class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a></sup> The MA-1 was intended to
replace the <a href="/wiki/M4_Survival_Rifle" title="M4 Survival Rifle">M4 Survival

repeat fire over the then-standard M6, using the same .22 Hornet cartridge. When
the AR-5 was adopted as the MA-1 but was not placed in issue due to the numbers of
usable M4 and M6 survival weapons in USAF inventory, ArmaLite used the research and
tooling for the AR-5 in developing the AR-7 for the civilian market.<sup

<p>The AR-7 uses a blowback semi-automatic action in <a href="/wiki/.22_Long_Rifle"
title=".22 Long Rifle">.22 Long Rifle</a> but retains the AR-5/MA-1 feature of
storing the disassembled parts within the hollow stock, which is filled with
plastic foam and capable of floating.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a
href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a
href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a></sup> Like the bolt-action AR-5, the AR-7 was designed
as a survival rifle for foraging small game for food. The AR-7 is constructed
primarily of aluminum, with plastic for the stock, buttcap, and recoil spring
guide. The bolt is steel. The original barrel was aluminum using a rifled steel
liner; barrels of some production models have used all steel barrels, others have
used barrels made of composite materials.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a
href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a></sup> The AR-7 measures 35 inches overall when
assembled. It disassembles to four sections (<a href="/wiki/Gun_barrel" title="Gun
barrel">barrel</a>, <a href="/wiki/Firearm_action" class="mw-redirect"
title="Firearm action">action</a>, <a href="/wiki/Stock_(firearm)" class="mw-
redirect" title="Stock (firearm)">stock</a>, and <a
href="/wiki/Magazine_(firearms)" title="Magazine (firearms)">magazine</a>), with
three parts storing inside the plastic stock, measuring 16 inches long. The rifle
weighs 2.5 <a href="/wiki/Pound_(mass)" title="Pound (mass)">pounds</a>, light
enough for convenient backpacking. The rear <a href="/wiki/Iron_sight" class="mw-
redirect" title="Iron sight">sight</a> is a <a href="/wiki/Peep_sight" class="mw-
redirect" title="Peep sight">peep sight</a>, which comes on a flat metal blade with
an aperture (in later production two different size apertures available by removing
and flipping the rear sight), and is adjustable for elevation (up-down). The front
sight is adjustable for windage (side-to-side). Accuracy is sufficient for hunting
small game at ranges to 50 <a href="/wiki/Yard" title="Yard">yards</a>.</p>

title=ArmaLite_AR-7&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section:
Performance">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h3>
<p>Reliability of the AR-7 is highly dependent on the condition of the magazine and
on the ammunition used, perhaps more so than with other models of semi-automatic .
22 caliber rifles. The <a href="/wiki/Feed_ramp" title="Feed ramp">feed ramp</a> is
part of the magazine and subject to damage from mishandling. Flat-nosed bullets
tend to jam on the edge of the chamber of the barrel. The transition of cartridge
from magazine to barrel can be smoothed by minor beveling of the chamber of the
barrel, by using round-nosed as opposed to flat-nosed bullets and by paying
attention to condition of the feed lips and feed ramp of the magazine. Later
production magazines include an external wire spring to align the cartridge;
earlier magazines used two pinch marks at the top of the magazine body, which in
use could become sprung open or worn.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-
Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed"
title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to
reliable sources. (September 2017)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup></p>
<p>All iterations of the AR-7 from the ArmaLite to the Henry U.S. Survival rifle
use a bolt and dual recoil springs that are heavy compared to most other .22
semiautomatics. The AR-7 requires high velocity ammunition for reliable
functioning. The manufacturers recommend use of 40 grain round nose bullets in high
velocity loadings. It is possible to manually load a single round into the firing
chamber, allowing use of flat nosed bullets or low velocity or subsonic
ammunition.</p>
<p>The barrel takedown nut tends to loosen during firing and may need hand-
tightening to maintain both accuracy and reliability.</p>
<p>ArmaLite sold the design to <a href="/wiki/Charter_Arms" title="Charter
Arms">Charter Arms</a> in 1973. According to some accounts posted by enthusiasts,
this is when quality began to deteriorate.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a
href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a></sup> Barrels were said to have a tendency to warp.
Other sources state that the first production at Charter had problems which were
corrected in later production runs.<sup id="cite_ref-Duncan_Long_1990_3-1"

<p>Original ArmaLite barrels had a steel liner in an aluminum shell. The stock was
a foam filled plastic shell with internal recesses for the receiver, barrel and one
magazine and did not accept the receiver with a magazine in place. The original
ArmaLite stock retained buoyancy longer than some later stocks by other makers. The
receiver did not provide for a scope mount. The rear sight was a peep aperture,
adjustable for elevation. The front sight was drift-adjustable for windage.</p>

Explorer II pistol with 8 inch barrel</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Explorer II was a pistol version of the AR-7.<sup id="cite_ref-10"
class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a></sup> It resembled a <a
href="/wiki/Mauser_C96" title="Mauser C96">Broomhandle Mauser</a>. The receiver had
a built-in pistol grip with no provision for the rifle stock (the internal parts
are interchangeable between rifle and pistol). The rear sight of the pistol was an
open notch adjustable for windage and elevation. The Explorer II front sight was
integral with the barrel shell and was not adjustable. The magazine well in front
of the trigger guard would accept any magazine designed for the rifle. A spare 8-
round magazine could be carried inside the grip. The most common barrel was six
inches. Optional barrel lengths included eight and ten inches.</p>

Alignment lug is on barrel underside</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Because the U.S. <a href="/wiki/National_Firearms_Act" title="National Firearms
Act">1934 NFA</a> regulations set the minimum rifle barrel length at 16 inches,
Charter Arms made the barrels of the Explorer I rifle and Explorer II pistol non-
interchangeable to prevent installing the pistol barrel on the rifle. The AR-7
barrel has an alignment lug that mates a notch in the receiver. The rifle receiver
notch and barrel lug are on top; the pistol notch and lug are broader and on the
bottom. If a Charter Arms factory-made pistol barrel were installed on a rifle, the
extractor on the bolt would be opposite the extractor slot in the barrel,
preventing the bolt from closing (plus the front sight would be upside down).
Modifying the pistol barrel to fit the rifle, or modifying the rifle receiver to
accept the pistol barrel, would be "making a short barrel rifle" legally requiring
federal registration on an ATF Form 1 with payment of a $200.00 tax.</p>
<p>Conversely, after the Supreme Court ruling in <i>United States v.
Thompson/Center Arms Co.</i>,<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a
href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a></sup> modifying the pistol to accept the rifle barrel
and/or stock, or modifying the rifle barrel or stock to fit the pistol is legal so
long as you do not have the rifle stock attached at the same time as the pistol
barrel. It is legal (as a pistol) to have the rifle barrel attached with the pistol
grip; there is no federal maximum pistol barrel length.</p>

<p>In 1980, the design and production rights passed on to <a
href="/wiki/Henry_Repeating_Arms" title="Henry Repeating Arms">Henry Repeating
Arms</a> and the compact rifle was slightly revised. The AR-7 is now (2015) known
as the Henry U.S. Survival AR-7 rifle. An <a
href="/wiki/Acrylonitrile_butadiene_styrene" title="Acrylonitrile butadiene
styrene">ABS</a> material replaced the original stock plastic, which was prone to
cracking and failure. The receiver recess in the Henry stock allows storage of
receiver with a magazine in place and the rifle is normally sold with two
magazines. The latest versions of the Henry allow for storage of three magazines
total, with two in the stock recess, and one in the receiver. The modern Henry U.S.
Survival rifle is also water resistant. They now include a full Teflon coating on
the outer surface. A 3/8 in. Weaver Tip-off mount rail milled into the top of the
receiver for attaching a wide variety of optics is now a standard feature.</p>

<p>Another variant was made by ArmaLite and sold to the <a
href="/wiki/Israeli_Military" class="mw-redirect" title="Israeli Military">Israeli
Military</a> for use as pilot/aircrew survival weapons.<sup id="cite_ref-12"
class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a></sup> The Israelis further
modified these rifles, adding a telescoping stock, a pistol grip from a <a
href="/wiki/FN_FAL" title="FN FAL">FAL-type rifle</a>, shortening the barrel (to
13.5 inches), and adding a front sight based on the <a href="/wiki/K98k" class="mw-
redirect" title="K98k">K98k</a> Mauser.</p>
<p>After Israeli service, some of these rifles were re-imported into the U.S. by
Bricklee Trading Company (the barrels are marked with the BTC identification as
required by U.S. laws on imported guns) for sale on the civilian market, and
command a premium among collectors. In order to comply with U.S. Federal law, a 3-
inch <a href="/wiki/Muzzle_brake" title="Muzzle brake">muzzle brake</a> had to be
permanently attached in order to meet the minimum 16-inch-barrel requirement.</p>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Operation">Operation</span><span class="mw-
Operation">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2>
<p>The AR-7 functions as a simple or plain <a
href="/wiki/Blowback_(arms)#Simple_blowback" class="mw-redirect" title="Blowback
(arms)">blowback</a> semi-automatic. The AR-7 is a light firearm with heavy bolt
and twin recoil springs and must be firmly held for reliable blowback
operation.</p>

<p>As is common with many blowback .22 rifles, the AR-7 bolt cannot be locked open
to demonstrate the weapon is in a safe unloaded state. Firearms without a built-in
"bolt hold-open" device may be banned from use at some firing ranges. Other firing
range operators allow use of an open bolt indicator to prop the bolt open so that
the chamber is visible. The yellow plastic flag for <a
href="/wiki/Civilian_Marksmanship_Program" title="Civilian Marksmanship
Program">CMP</a> range use is recommended or a spent cartridge case may be accepted
to indicate open bolt.</p>

<p>The fact that both the barrel and stock are detachable has led to a plethora of
after-market accessories, similar to those available for the <a
href="/wiki/Ruger_10/22" title="Ruger 10/22">Ruger 10/22</a>. Barrels, stocks, and
grips, of varying finishes and utility, can be added to the rifle. These include
collapsible stocks, wire-framed stocks, pistol grips, flash suppressors, shrouded
barrels, high-capacity magazines, telescopic sights, reflex 'red dot' sights and
other occasionally fanciful-looking hardware, some at a cost greater than the rifle
itself. Such accessories often make it impossible to use the original floating
stock for storage of modified parts.<sup id="cite_ref-Duncan_Long_1990_3-2"
class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Duncan_Long_1990-3">[3]</a></sup></p>
<p>The current Henry U.S. Survival AR-7 has a 3/8" scope sight rail integral with
the receiver to accept standard Weaver-style "Tip-Off" rings. For earlier makes, B
Square supplied the Charter Arms AR-7 Explorer Scope Mount Base, an accessory
bracket with a 3/8" rail. The base attached by the receiver side plate screw (the
Charter Arms side plate screw is longer than that of the ArmaLite). This base can
be used on the ArmaLite and the Charter Arms Explorer rifles and the Charter Arms
Explorer II pistol. However, with the base in place, the rifle receiver will no
longer fit the recess in the stock for storage. (The base is not needed on the
Henry version and will not fit the Henry receiver.)</p>
<p>Apart from the highly modified AR-7 Israeli survival rifles, most AR-7 models
lack provision for a carry sling. AR-7 owners have adapted slings designed for use
on guns without modification, such as universal shotgun slings designed to cup the
shotgun buttstock at the rear and clamp to the barrel or magazine tube at the
front. Given the light weight of the AR-7, 2.5 pounds, a proper length of parachute
cord with a <a href="/wiki/Slip_knot" title="Slip knot">slip knot</a> at either end
can be used as a <a href="/wiki/Sling_(firearms)" title="Sling
