Henry Survival Semi-Auto Rifle
The Henry AR-7 is the latest in survival hunting rifles and though Henry is better known for high-quality lever-action rifles, their engineers created an incredibly, adaptable weapon in their eight-round .22 long rifle survival rifle.
The rifle breaks down easily in small transportable components, is easy to aim, shoot, and is so lightweight it barely takes any work to carry it in a backpack.
Not just a military survival rifle any longer, the Henry Survival AR-7 is popular with backpackers, bush pilots, boaters, and general sportsmen who may find a need for a survival weapon out in the wilderness.
American B-47 and B-52 bombers along with military support aircraft began flying long missions over open territory in the 1950s. Military flights regularly flew over dense jungles, the vastness of Canada, Alaska, and across the Atlantic and Pacific.
With crashes a possibility, the first survival rifle arrived in 1958, since then there have been vast improvements over the original over/under single-shot combination rifle that fired a .22 long rifle in one barrel and a .410 shotgun shell in the other.
Henry’s survival rifle is designed for easy transport, and additional eight-round magazines can be stored in the hollow, waterproof stock.
Henry markets the rifle solely, or in their U.S. Survival Pack which includes an AR-7, food packets, a water filtration straw, fire steel, an emergency blanket, and a folding buck knife.
The rifle is offered in three finishes, traditional black, True Timber Kanati Camo, and Viper Western Camo.

Henry Survival Semi-Automatic Rifle .22 Long Rifle
The stock carries the entire rifle, magazines, and all inside its hollow waterproof frame. Just a little over a foot of water-resistant synthetic houses everything you’ll need in an emergency in the wilderness.
There is ample room for two full eight-round magazines, and with a little creativity, you can pack a third magazine into the stock as well.
The .22 long rifle cartridge has taken more small game than every other rimfire or centerfire cartridge ever invented. With a 16.5-inch barrel, and clear, open sights a hunter can easily take squirrels, rabbits, and other game.
The .22 long rifle cartridge can protect you from predators as well. It’s a good match for coyotes, wolves, and anything short of a black or grizzly bear that might enjoy having you on the menu.
With eight rounds, you can fire single shots at game with the semi-automatic action or open up with quick trigger pulls and fill the air with lead.
When you’re in a survival situation, you don’t know what to expect, but the versatility of this rifle will provide ample protection.
