It would be nice if someone manufactured aftermarket stock for the AR-7 that provided room for two more mags and a cleaning kit.

I just got a Henry AR-7 two days ago. I haven't been to the range yet to try it out, but I really like the construction of it, it's very well thought out in design and function. That's a good idea putting all of those extra rounds in stock, more is better. Very nice and informative video, thank you. HAPPY SHOOTING.

I managed to comfortably store 59 rounds of CCI Mini-Mag. - 24 in three magazines and 35 in the stock. They all fit tightly and didn't fall out. I enlarged some tight holes very slightly with a drill bit and plugged wider ones with foam sponge. None ever fell out.

you could do a altoids can with a sleeve over stock also, on both side and get more ammo with it also.

Plus on the Henry ar7 your receiver will hold a mag as well. So you can have 3 loaded mags stored in the stock. Cool tip on the extra rounds.

I once owned the Charter Arms AR7, great concept which is why I bought one but man it was so disappointing having so many FTF no matter which type of ammo used! Guess I'll try one of the Henry AR7 models since I've heard good things about them. Great little camping gun to augment a carry pistol. Thanks for passing the extra stash ammo idea!

I'm not even going to edit that out lol 😄 love it

Great idea! Never can have to much ammo!

Its an option. Thanks for sharing. I just put spare ammo in a buttstock pouch that will hold about 200 rds. 100 HP/100FMJ. I put them in doubled zip lock bags and then put them in the pouch. Hopefully water and air tight enough. Moisture is the biggest threat to ammo be it open water or humidity. I pack them tight and try to keep from jostling them around. Keeping them completely stationary would be the best. With rimfire ammo I don't want to rough handle it as that may dislodge internal case primer pads that cause misfires. Adding extra weight to the rifle that it was not intended have will cause the rifle sink and no longer float should it fall into water. Thanks again for showing another option.

you can have a third magazine in the gun

Simple ideas are the best. Good job on that......

Thanks, I do that also to my AR7. Thanks for sharing it

Thanks for the tip. I bought my AR 7 yesterday. That is a good way to carry spare ammo.

I believe those holes in the gun are to create air pockets, for when its broken down. Making it able to float

Great idea on the extra storage of ammo. I have 2 other Henry's...nothin' better or more fun.

I’m not to concerned bout the floating thingy, it’s just a great option

I'll try it. I love my survival rifle!

Nice Job, I have both, I agree. Good job Brother

Awesome vid! Glad you were able to put it to use! You got a lot more in there than I did....but you used some of the looser fitting holes....which is smart....just not as tidy. I have some more secrets I'm going to be sharing soon on this little gun. Love that you have a junky old Charter Arms version to show side by side with. Plus the close the camera or the eye gets the more obvious it is that Henry made MAJOR upgrades to this rifle. I have tons of Charter Arms fanatics (well about 3) giving me a hard time for trashing it....but it is what it is....junk. I personally question if these guys are actually SHOOTING the guns. Anyway good vid....liked that you didn't over edit (I do that sometimes) and was just yourself. Good work! I will try to remember to plug this video in my mods video....if I forget at the least I will put you in the info section as a link to further explore. Catch you later brother!

Genius. I can’t believe I didn’t think of that.

never even thought about that wow

Been looking at this design for years thinking they should implement some ammo storage in exactly this manner. Also, if the collapsed storage internals could be constructed from a silicone lined material it would kill any rattle and really clean the gun up.

These guns are great id like to get one of these one day

actually a good video, impressive!

great idea, I will have to do that also. thanks for sharing.

you have 70rnd in a gun itself. awsome!

Nice man, informative video, good work!

Great Idea never thought of thatThanks

Thanks for posting this! I have one of these, and it always bothered me that there was only room for two loaded mags, which is not that much ammo. This is a great idea for a compact way of carrying more ammo with the rifle. Even if a few cartridges fall out when you open it up, it still greatly increases your emergency ammo capacity -- great idea! Did you by any chance test the flotation capability when the stock is filled with the additional ammo? It might make the entire unit significantly less buoyant.

Great video I just got one me self

Thanks that is very cool brother

I have one of those thats a great idea.

Thanks for the tip!

Mine is too old but I like this idea.

God bless!

Nice kit.

Good idea...

wow, awesome idea

Check your state laws in some states if even one round is touching or in the gun case or bug out bag its classed as a loaded weapon. In Kalifornia the mags must be empty and you can not have any ammo in the stock.

great idea I have the same one thanx for sharing.

Does this now affect the buoyancy?

just subbed ya.like your attitude.

I do not have one of these but wish could find one in 22mag instead, this is nice way to package a 17hmr or 17hornet even 22hornet maybe 17wm also.

Will it still float loaded up like that? Without that spare ammo, the rifle will average 2 minutes afloat disassembled and stored in the stock, and about 6 assembled. You should test it out.

dude. totally!

Neat

nice man thanks

Thank you

Nice Video.

Just FYI, on the Henry you can also store the lower with a clip installed, so if you purchase extra clips from Henry, you can actually store the rifle with three fully loaded clips in the stock.

How I wish that, item would be available in the Philippines 😢

nice why didn't I think of that

I wonder how those big, important, clever smart-ass gun youtubers didn't figure it out the purpose of that .22 honeycomb type space, how could be used. Mind-blowing. Anyway, those 40 plus .22 cartridges don't affect significantly the weight/buoyancy of the whole package.

in countries Where indonesia's could use a rifle like that

Out of curiosity, how does this compare to the 10/22 Takedown?

Not a bad idea...however, you would lose the floating ability of the rifle....I would think. Not that important but somethijng to think about

iwant

I got that same vise lol.

Great Video.................. But the Henry survival rifle is as much junk as the Charter Arms gun...............Sent mine back three times..............Won't run after with out jamming...............

any place for matches or a compass?

GREAT gun for an anchor or mailbox post... NEVER count on this weapon to save your life. I have owned one, even bought a few original manufacturer mags, IT SUCKED ! It has plastic sights, nonstop jamming, doesn't float actually attempts to "BOB". IF you drop it in moving water it is GONE. Go with the Ruger 10/22 Takedown, you will NOT be dissapointed ! Yeah it might not float but goes together faster, comes in a great pouch that will also hold a scope and extra mags/ammo,bis built ROCK SOLID to last forever, adjustable to make up for any wear over the years, no plastic shit sights, ultra reliable (proven) 10 shot rotary mag with 25 round mags available from Ruger. My 10/22 carbine is 49 years old and has never failed me, still exceptionally accurate and has ALL of it's original parts and mag. This P.O.S. AR7 unless put away or used little will never make it 1/3 of that time without screwing up. I bought a 10/22 Takedown and it is FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is SS with a black syn stock, bought a silver scope and mounted it. I have taken it apart (scope/barrel and action) numerous times and reassembled, it hits in the same spot everytime ! You want to buy the AR7 go for it, but you WILL end up with the Ruger 10/22 Takedown if you need a take down type backpack rifle, GUARANTEED ! Experience has been the best instructor. Doesn't matter WHO is foolish enough to put their name in front of the AR7 moniker.... NO !
