Henry U.S. Survival

[cyclone]

Oh i didn't mean for free :S
I paid $275(i think) for my POS,gotta try and get a little of it back.

I know not for free...but I paid only $199 for mine..no wonder you're no fan of the thing - they overcharged you but good...my sincere sympathies.

Yeah i got nailed..I went back and #####ed and he gave me 2 bricks of Rem gameloads and a box of .223 for free.
Just pissed i didn't get a 10/22 instead

You ultimately did get a 10/22, though?

IMHO, a reasonable price for a Henry AR-7 is $150, not the marked-up nonsense we see. But, most try to get back what they pay...

I don't have a 10/22,sold it ages ago :S

In favour of?

Excellent call - but what about mag capacity?

Anyhow, what are your plans with the AR-7 receiver? Spill!

 

[(Ronin)]

not sure yet..just sitting in a box
Building a pimped out AR right now so everything else is on low budget.

Not worried about mag capacity anyways,10 shots that go where i want them to go is better than 25 that don't.It would cost me an easy $1k to get a 10/22 to shoot with this Cooey.
Don't get me wrong,10/22's are fun.I just don't have the cash to have enough fun guns right now.I'll get another some day..

We hijacked this thread something bad

I have been very happy with my AR-7, Just got back from plinking in the woods and tested out some new extended bolt handles I made this morning

Yea, but beerdog brought us back on course...

Looks solid! Does it make a difference in cycling?

I'm going to break-in 2 new 8-shot mags tonight...

 

[beerdog]

The long ones are for winter shooting with gloves.
None will fit in the stock but all work great and are a little essayer to handle then the original.

 

[cyclone]

All look amazing - well done!

What if you made them folding (like the charging handle on a FAL) and releived the base of the stock...might fit then.

In case anyone cares, in tomorrow (Thursday) night's Law & Order: Criminal Intent, there's a plot-line with an "sniper" who packs a grey AR-7 rifle (grey) with a wire-stock.

Bon apetit...

Edit: At 10:22 P.M. Thurs night, the AR-7 rifle was shown dissassembled in a case....@ 10/22 - how ironic...

Edit: At 10:25 PM, the "sniper" dry-fired it after assembly..argh!

Edit: At 10:26 PM, one shot, one kill...the AR-7 was scoped, and sounded...silenced? No suppressor was visible...hmmm...

Edit: At 10:30, they indicated the rifle was "a custom-made US Survivor rifle"...sigh - they were doing pretty well until then (except for the "silenced" thing)...the "sniper" left it behind...
