If you hear banjos on your next canoe trip, you won’t need to paddle faster if you have the Henry U.S. Survival rifle with you. Designed by the legendary Eugene Stoner, the Henry U.S. Survival rifle is specifically a survival rifle. Originally called the Henry AR-7 it was issued to U.S. Air Force pilots in 1959. Now, backpackers, hikers, campers, and boaters are the targeted market for the Henry U.S. Survival rifle. Though it is not ergonomically the most appealing rifle, chambered for the .22 LR it is still accurate and comfortable enough to pop a critter in the sweet spot for some good eatin’. As far as two-legged critters or zombies are concerned, the .22 LR as a self-defense round is hotly debatable, but if we trust James Bond to kill an assassin with the Henry U.S. Survival rifle in From Russia With Love then the Henry just might get you out of some hairy situations.

Now, I don't know if he wants his name mentioned, but one of my readers has let me know he is sending one my way. As soon as I know what FFL will be transferring it to my FFL (Damn gun laws!) I will have mine contact his with the fax nr, so he can send his license info, and this AMAZING individual will be shipping me an AR-7!
Unfuckingbelievable! When it gets here, I will take MANY MANY pictures of it, and post another gun porn. And will find out if this person minds me sharing who he is. This is a HUGE act of generosity in my book. I'd LOVE to give him credit!
Sweet!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? Shit like this don't happen. Someone you never met, spends time and energy, (and money!) to give you something out of the blue. It's a little humbling.
ReplyDeleteI keep wondering if I must have been someone nice in a previous existence or something.
Wait til it's in your hot little hands...After that, it does not matter..And this one was made by Charter arms, Henry bought the rights from them. Designed by Armalite of AR15 fame
ReplyDeleteAnd they float too.
ReplyDeleteWe have one in each vehicle as part of the "Get Home Supplies".
I did make a device to help Midwest Chick cock the bolt, not much to grab there.
