I have an older AR-7 from Survival Arms (third company in the AR-7 lineage: Armalite, then Charter Arms, then Survival Arms, now Henry). It's a hot mess, but it works. It doubled for a while when new back in the '90s and then settled down to actually being reliable. The front sight is drifted nearly out of its dovetail to get the rifle sighted in. I still think it's a hoot.
When I dug it out of the back of the safe this week I found that the thin plastic of the inside dividers/compartments of the butt stock has started to disintegrate. I had a heck of a time trying to get the barrel out! Does anyone know if the latest production Henry version butt stock will fit?
I've also misplaced one of the original magazines. I had two and, unlike the Henry version, there is only a place to store one of them in the stock so it's easy to misplace a second one. I know the magazines for the Henry don't interchange with the older AR-7 models. Numrich Gun Parts still has the original type in stock, so no problem there.
