The AR-7 has served U.S. Air Force pilots since 1959, and has developed a reputation for portability, ease of operation and reliability. Henry Repeating Arms now produces the AR-7 for the civilian world, and the well-recognized takedown .22 is the latest AmericanRifleman.org Gun of the Week.

Much like the original survival rifle, Henry's take on the AR-7 is lightweight and highly portable. When stowed, it measures just 16½" and makes for an easy fit in any backpack. Its .22LR chambering allows you to carry large quantities of ammunition without adding much weight.
