Henry sells them 2 for $41.89 for the 8 rnd mags and $20.95 for a single 5 rnd magazin.. I forgot t ask about shipping, but if you call them I'm sure they can give you that cost. I called their toll free number and immediately someone answered who could answer my question, no switchboard or robo- operator.LDB415 wrote: Mon May 23, 2022 10:48 am I'm looking for AR7 spares. I've found a couple of places in stock in the $3x range. Then on CTD they have two listings for it. One is $32 and the other is $60. Other than different stock numbers I can't tell any difference. I thought maybe $60 was for a two pack but nope, just a single. Strange. I'll keep looking.
I ordered two from Henry. I registered an account at 1:25PM, got an email confirming my order at 1:30PM and then I got another email confirming items shipped at 1:34PM. I've waited longer than that to order pizza. LOLLDB415 wrote: Mon May 23, 2022 2:32 pm I missed the $42 for 2 the first time I looked. I saw $42 and based on everywhere else thought that would be for 1. So I cancelled the prior order and got them in the 2 pack and saved a lot. Thanks.
Still not sure of the crazy difference in CTD but maybe it is because of warehouse or something. Oh well, got the best deal so all is well.
Well, they're slacking off getting closer to the end of the day. Order confirmed at 14:20 but didn't ship until 14:25. A whole extra minute to get it done. Then again, I did order two 2-packs to your single 2-pack so that would add a little.puma guy wrote: Mon May 23, 2022 2:41 pm I ordered two from Henry.

I saw the 15 round mags, but I've had previous issues with after market higher than OEM capacity mags, especially .22's.

They are a fun little weapon. I sold them back in the 60's when they were made by Charter Arms. I always wanted one, but just never got around to getting it. I found one for cheap on GB and when I got it I discovered why. It had feed and ejection issues and the trigger would not reset. The seller failed to mention that, but before I called him out I took it apart and found a major spring was installed with the pin only in one side. It was a booger, but after I fixed it I had no problems. It is a true survival weapon designed by Eugene Stoner and issued by the Air Force long ago to replace previous survival weapons all made by Armalite. I don't know of any other breakdown .22 that is contained in water proof status and floats. For size the Marlin Papoose comes close; just a stock and screw in barrel, but no longer available new since Marlin's sale to Ruger. They command a premium when you find them as do the old Marlin Camp Carbines. The little rifle's reputation was not the best while Charter Arms and Survival Arms were making them, but Henry has done a great job improving them from the reviews I've seen.The Annoyed Man wrote: Tue May 24, 2022 8:08 am Ima get one of those some day…or maybe one of the other takedown models of .22s available. I have 3 .22 rifles: a Savage Model 64, a M&P 15-22, and a Henry Frontier Octagon. All 3 do exactly what you expect of them, and if I could only keep one, it would be the Henry. But ever since I bought my Ruger PC Carbine, I’ve wanted a takedown .22. The AR7 is kinda ugly, but it floats … and none of the others do that, so…
Yeah, I’ve never really heard anything bad about the AR7 before…other than maybe their looks. To my mind, they’re the kind of thing you keep in the trunk of your car, right alongside your Ronco Pocket Fisherman and other related sundries. I don’t say that to knock the rifle. I think it’s an ingenious design. It’s just that the fact that it takes down the way it does, and it all stuffs into its own stock making a small package, invites one to stow it somewhere—on a boat, in your private plane, in your car's trunk, or in the closet of your travel trailer—and then forget you have it right up until it’s really needed. As a general thing, it wouldn’t be my first choice for taking a .22 into the woods or to the range. But the point is that it’s there when you need it in an emergency, and hadn’t thought to bring a rifle along.puma guy wrote: Tue May 24, 2022 10:52 amThey are a fun little weapon.

Me thinks that will most likely happen!The Annoyed Man wrote: Tue May 24, 2022 11:15 pmYeah, I’ve never really heard anything bad about the AR7 before…other than maybe their looks.

But they are cool, and I’d like to own one.
