Getting an Henry Survival AR-7

[Hoshnasi]

Savage makes one, but its not a break down gun.

I spent some time looking into this rifle. Found out it has one big advantage over the M6 scout (other than being commercial available). The 410 is an open bore, meaning its OK to shoot slugs, which is not the case in the M6.

Stopped in to check on whether my AR-7 came in yet.

They had a box on the back counter marked "Henry U.S. Survival".

I said "Looks like you got my rifle in, I will be in tomorrow to pick it up!"

Guy at the counter asked my name and I told him. He looked at the box and said, "Nope, yours isn't here yet."

I looked at him kind of sideways and asked "How is it that I ordered the Henry 10 days ago, did the DROS paperwork, was told that I was the first person to order one of these rifles, and now you have someone else's rifle here but not mine?"

He said "Let me take a look at the log and see if this guy has completed all his paperwork."

He found out that this guy had ordered his rifle a couple days after I had, and that he also hadn't even started his DROS paperwork. So, he pulled his order form off of the box, and taped mine to the box and said, "See you tomorrow when you pick up your rifle."

This is why I like dealing with independent, small, (no employees) dealers.
They don't blame anybody or mess things up like that.

Yeah, but the BX got it for me at $40.00 less than the cheapest local dealer, and I also saved another $25.00 for not having to pay any tax.

For a $65.00 savings I will put up with a little mistake. That is why I stopped in to check on the status.

I had posted this in another thread but people thinking about a take-down can also check out www.packrifle.com , available in CA.

Also, see several vids on YT, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASLHjeciPOs&feature=plcp
and also search there for pak-rifle.

I just couldn't live with the way my AR 7 came so I tweaked it a little and made it into a AR 7.5

Added a bull steel barrel with ventilated shroud, standard AR pistol grip and butt stock.
