Don't waste your money. This is a rather crude survival rifle with a terrible trigger and mediocre barrel. Putting a scope on it is lipstick on a pig, I have owned one since 1971 and love it for what it is: a fun gun to take in the woods and shoot tin cans and pinecones.

 

Thanks. Looks like it was $169.99 new in 1999. Seems cheaply made, but could be a fun little plinker. I would at least like to add a pistol grip option if possible.

 

Hello and Welcome to RFC, why don't you pull up a chair and sit for a while. If you have the time stop on by The Watering Hole and chat for a bit. The first drink is always on the house. You might want to look where your drink is coming from before you think about the free drink.

You might want to ask your question in a different forum, this one is for introductions. Not as many people will see your question posted here. I would guide you to a better place, but I am not real sure where you should look and I don't want to get you headed to the wrong place. This might be a place to start.

Welcome from East Tennessee

 

When Henry took over manufacture, they changed the rifles dimensions so few parts interchange with the older guns.

You will likely have better luck with parts from the Armalite and Charter Arms eras of AR-7 production.

As GladesGuy said, these had a very shady reputation for reliability. My own Charter-made gun was terrible. I wouldn't invest much into it as you may be very disappointed in how (or if) it shoots.

But, it's your gun and money. Good luck with whatever you decide. 👍

 

Welcome Scott!

 

Welcome indeed! Don't let that rifle bum you out! Shoot it while you are deciding on your next one!

 

Sorry, forgot to welcome you to the Forum! I believe that this site has the pistol grip you seek:

Adjustable Stock, Clear, Bead Blast Finish

 

Thank you. I'll give them a try to see if it will work for this version.

 

Welcome to RFC, from Missouri

 

This is a little more expensive, but better built option

US Survival Rifle AR-7 Pistol Grip Stock Adapter Kit - Wholesale Gun Mags

 

Thanks. I will contact them later today to see if it will work for my version of the rifle.

 

Glad to hear it will work for you!
