Different approach to Henry AR - 7

[dak47]

Verra Cool! I've been tempted by them now and again, half azzed accurate? Not taking away from what you've done looks amazing! I like what I'm seeing with peoples creativity during house arrest......

In fact the AR-7 was used in the Bond film "From Russia With Love" where he shoots down a helicopter. Phil.

Also in Goldfinger...

So with all this extra time on my hands i decided to start few new projects. Here is the first one, ultra light .22 with some variable zoom. I made this custom stock and sourced an old scopechief 3-8× scope. As you see it it's only 3.5lb and feels nicely balanced. My range is closed so no chance to test it out, i will update this post once i do.
I know that this rifle is designed to fit into the stock and float, i have the original stock for that, this laminated stock set up is mainly for range fun, could be fun for the kids as well . Let me know what you guys think.

Very Kool ! Good Job ! RJ

Triple K 15 rd mag showed up.. i will have to file the mag catch hole a bit, it does not catch.

That's pretty cool looking. How challenging was it getting the hole for the bolt to attach it to the receiver lined up correctly?

Curious to hear how the 15 round magazine works for you? Is it any easier to take apart than the magazines that came with the rifle?

Holy smokes Dmitri...that mag really kicks it up a notch! Wowsers!

Sure, but he used special Bonded bullets.............

Looks like there is room to store the long magazine in the butt stock with a bit of drilling and milling....
The front sight needs to go, it's an odd ball dovetail but it can be filled larger to match a typical dovetail.

That might have been the key

Mine was pretty inaccurate and I didn't overly enjoyed shooting it so off it went.

To OP; great work, bet it feels a lot better than the clunky factory stock.

Yes, it feels really good. Very light too. Cant wait go put some rounds through it.

Great work Dmitri. That is easily among the best looking AR-7 rifles out there.

 

[bobwayzie]

Wow I like that. Good job.

 

[Dmitri]

[xdmer]

Very nice work.

Oh man !!! That looks amazing. I like it better with the smaller mag.

What material did you use?

 

[wayupnorth]

what are they listed as on Triple K website?
i cant seem to see them listed anywhere, even if they are sold out.

 

[wayupnorth]

found it

What material did you use?

I used 3 layers of 5/8" baltic birch plywood. Pressed together with epoxy.

That looks like a fun project! I've threatened to do something like this to my kids Rascal. Thanks for the inspiration!
