I had one of the very early ones. Unlike a lot of other people’s experience, mine was totally reliable.
On the minus side it was not real accurate, not terrible but not good either. It also just never felt right to me. I didn’t even like the way it carried while stored in the stock.
I guess it would have fulfilled it’s basic purpose tho. You could store it along with some ammo in a small place.
S&W M&P 15-22 with 25 round mag. Kid loves it and we've shot over 500 rds. with only 1-2 misfires.It’s pretty cool. I prefer the keltec SU-16 though.
I had a Charter Arms AR 7 years ago. It was actually an accurate little 22. I ended up giving it to a friend who liked it more than I did.
Ping!
I always thought it was a good idea, generally well executed but I also thought a better idea was a full sized .22 auto or revolver, say a 4 to 6 inch barrel was a better one.
Any of the good ones, say a Colt Woodsman, S&W model 17, or any of the name brand ones which are reliable. Just as accurate, tho not as powerful, but much more compact.
The Henry is great......the Charter Arms on the other hand is basically good as a door stop.
The new Ruger 10 22 Takedown is a nice rifle, in stainless. It is readily separated into two subassemblies, offering a convenient transport and storage option. Impact Guns is offering it for $319.99 (on backorder)

I owned an AR-7 for the longest time. A handy little plinker. I had two straight clips, and found a 30-round banana clip.
Found that .22LR lead rounds deformed in the chamber and jammed the rifle. Copper rounds solved the problem.
That rifle is now at the bottom of Lake Okeechobee.
Found one at Dick’s for $239. It’s on the wish list.
As that big brother/sis are reading & listening to this stuff.....
I know a few people who have them & keep them ready & have had real good success with them, & never have had any troubles in shooting them. They did make 1 minor mod. to the mag. & that was open them up more by .01mm for the removal of the next round a little easier.
The AR-7 IMO, is one of those surivial thingies kept in the plane, boat, &c that one hopes they never have to use for intended prupose.
Bump for later, ‘cause I know the search function isn’t going to work on that title.
