The Armalite AR-7 is a semiautomatic .22 LR detachable rifle originally developed for the USAF as a lightweight survival rifle. The receiver assembly and barrel can be contained in the buttstock and and is one of the few firearms that will float if put in water, although it is not waterproof. The receiver and magazine are made from aluminum.
Armalite began production of the AR-7 in 1959 and sold the rights to Charter Arms in 1973. From 1973 to 1980, Charter Arms built the AR-7. After 1980, Charter Arms sold the rights to Henry Repeating Arms Company, however, Survival Arms, Cocoa, FL built the rifle under license from 1990-1997. Though Henry Repeating Arms still owns the rights to the gun, other companies build variations of the weapon under license. The name of the rifle was changed in 2009 to the Henry U.S. Survival Rifle.
It is still in production and has been marketed as a survival/backpack gun due to its compact size when broken down and its light weight.
