As a boy, Tyler began his firearms education (as did I) carrying an unloaded BB Gun on our firearms outings to learn safety and proper firearms etiquett. Fortunately, he has been able to experience the outdoors, including his 12 years in scouting (Order of The Arrow and Eagle Scout) as well as shooting sports, even though shooting opportunities are fewer and more restrictive than I experienced growing up. It has been a challenge to raise my son with those same values and opportunities here in California.

I grew up in Iowa and was able to enjoy responsible firearems ownership and use from an early age, thanks to supportive parents and a midwestern culture which understood the importance of that aspect of our American heritage. All models are equipped with an adjustable rear sight and a blade front sight. Survival AR-7 is available in three finishes Black, True Timber Kanati Camo Pattern, and True Timber Viper Western Camo Pattern. It’s engineered for perfect balance and the ability to maintain its tack-driving accuracy, even after thousands of rounds. It comes standard with a sturdy steel barrel covered in tough ABS plastic with a protective coating for complete corrosion resistance. In a few seconds, without any tools, the Henry U.S. Assembly is as easy as attaching the receiver to the stock, inserting the barrel, and screwing on the nut. When disassembled the pieces fit inside the impact-resistant, water resistant stock. 22 LR so you can carry a large quantity of ammunition without adding much weight to your gear. At just 16.5″ long, when all the components are stowed, it easily fits into the cargo area of a plane, boat or in a backpack. Survival Rifle, this innovative, semi-automatic model is lightweight (3.5 lbs.) and highly portable.

Today it’s a favorite of bush pilots, backpackers and backcountry adventurers who, like their Air Force counterparts, need a rifle that’s easy to carry yet has the accuracy to reliably take down small game. Through the years the AR-7’s reputation for portability, ease of operation and reliability has carried over to the civilian world. Air Force pilots who need a small-caliber rifle they can count on should they have to punch out over a remote area. Since 1959 the venerable AR-7 has been the choice of U.S.
