Henry US Survival AR-7

[SideShow Bob]

I had one back in the early to mid 80's, it was a jam-o-matic and the sights were very crude. I could barely hit a rabbit size target at about 75 ft. also the grip area was a bit too thick.
Anyone know if they improved the function, fit and sights since then ?

Dude was like 25-30sec to acquisition.

Some of the time was saved by having his finger on the trigger once it was loaded pointing in the air...

That's pretty slick.

When I bought mine last year, they were a little harder to find. Now, all the Colo Springs Wal-Marts have them for $220 in stock.

Guess I got in good. Always wanted one, since I was a kid. Glad I had the good fortune to wait until they were Henry manufactured, and several years ago, you could still find them consistently well under $200.

It's a fun little rifle to shoot, and the sights aren't bad for what the rifle is, though, I too, find the stock a little thick, though it's not unmanageable.

As far as performance, I have run Federal bulk, Remington Golden Bullet bulk, Winchester Wildcat, and CCI Mini-Mag through it, and have had zero performance issues. Have even been able to find "hi-cap" (12rd) mags for it at various gun shows.

I've only had one that was new. It took about 500 rounds before it started shooting without failures. These are fun guns.

I have had no problems with my Charter Arms rifle. I bought it used from the Foothills Shooting Center on March 20, 1988 for $89.97 with 2 mags and a hundred rounds of ammo. They let me put a mag through it to make sure it worked before I bought it.
