| Since this refers mainly to ArmaLite Costa Mesa CA I thought it might be more appropriate here than in the AR Variants. Yesterday I received my Jan 2017 Rifleman and it had an extensive article on the AR-7 including the rare IDF pilot bailout model, well worth checking out if your interested in the history of ArmaLite. |

I wish someone....ANYONE would do the AR-7 justice and build one to the quality of Colt or Armalite or even some of the boutique guns. The general design is solid.....it's just made to crappy specs. The AR article says the current Henry version is the best ever. |

Dude. Seriously. WOW!!!! |

I have a Armalite ar-7 Costa mesa with a wire telescoping stock. I was told it was for pilots but never could confirm. Anyone know ? Those were done by the Israelis for aircraft survival weapons... Does it look like this? http://picturearchive.gunauction.com/1041075009/10640840/AR7%20Is%20%2021.JPG Used to see them for sale in the Shotgun News a long time ago... |

That looks like a great way to get a ND. |

That's beautiful. If only I knew a skilled manufacturer who could stretch that receiver out to .223" length and set it up to feed from AR mags.
