Product Spotlight: Henry AR-7 Survival Rifle
For many, having a rifle among lots of other gear on a survival or backpacking adventure is cumbersome. Whether it be the additional 5-6 lbs of added weight or the overall length of 30+ inches, a full-sized rifle that delivers reliability and durability isn’t going to be an easy thing to carry mile after mile. A full-sized gun can also be difficult to carry and store on a boat or plane. However, there is a rifle that defies that: the Henry AR-7 survival rifle.
Made for Anything
Based on a design made for Air Force pilots over 6 decades ago, the Henry U.S. Survival AR-7 is a civilian version of the ArmaLite AR-5. The AR 7 was acquired by Henry Repeating Arms in the 1980s and has continued to be manufactured with their dedication to quality ever since. It features a unique design that makes it lightweight, compact, easy to carry, and easy to assemble/disassemble without tools. This has made the Henry survival rifle a favorite of pilots and outdoorsmen, as the gun is easily stowed or packed among other gear while taking up limited space. It’s perfect for any excursion or survival situation.
