A buddy of mine bought an AR-7 in early '80s.
He was a James Bond aficionado. He had nagged me into selling him my first Walther and he carried a gunmetal-colored lighter (he bought one for me, too ... I still have it).
Anyway ...
I recall the first time that we went shooting (open fields) when he brought that AR-7.
Pretty quickly he started complaining about how the thing was always so inaccurate.
I suggested he let me take a look ...
... I found that the barrel nut was not tight, TIGHTened it up and started eliminating the middle of his target.
I told him to make sure that nut is TIGHT and it will be accurate.
He was a bit embarrassed, being a Vietnam combat-Vet, but he wasn't a real Gun Guy ... and I just laughed it off and told him a couple of stupid-GBExpat-with-gun stories so he felt better about the whole thing.
