You're referring to the take down .22lr correct? If so then yes i have one.

It seems to be the luck of the draw with them. You need to find out what models are the better version, some companies that have made them sucked it up. I do know the Marlin Papoose has a really good reputation so you might give that a try also.

the only complaint I have is the barrel can start loosening up after some shooting causing jams so you need to just check and make sure it stays tight.

i heard of them not feeding good

chrisb · « **Reply #6 on:** December 30, 2009, 07:24:49 PM »

yeah thats the problem i get when the barrel warms up and the nut gets a little loose. seems to be by the second or third mag of consecutive shooting it gets to that temp.

its a fun gun for plinking, and cheap to shoot, but i personally wouldnt want it for a "survival rifle". dont get me wrong i'd rather have it than nothing but it would be my first choice.

what about the marlin papoose have you seen that one ?

chrisb · « **Reply #8 on:** December 31, 2009, 10:13:29 AM »

I've never shot or handled one, but with the barrel that unscrews i would think you'd have similar problems. What are you looking to use this for? Do you have your heart set on a .22? Keltec makes an AWESOME folding rifle that will fit into a backpack and is still operable from the folded position. It also uses AR-15 mags so if you already have those laying around they would be dual purposed.

I know a couple of people who have them, they all lover them. Accurate and very durable, have not heard anything about the barrel unscrewing, but that does not mean it does not happen. Based off the Model 795. They are not hugely popular, not many takedowns are, but the people who have them don't get rid of them. Just read up, owners on RFC say the barrel wrench is needed.

If you are looking at an AR7 try Majestic Arms M4A, they are spendy but the company makes decent products.

my buddy has one he will sell me for 100 bucks ive shot it before shots good but does jam i was wanting a rifle for back packing

Dirty Mike · « **Reply #11 on:** January 01, 2010, 05:55:20 PM »

i looked the marlin up pretty cool

chrisb · « **Reply #12 on:** January 01, 2010, 07:59:41 PM »

For $100 it's worth it IMO. Just keep in mind you probably will need to keep the barrel nut tight after a few mags.

Dirty Mike · « **Reply #13 on:** January 01, 2010, 10:03:13 PM »

ok cool its gonna be my backing rifle maybe shoot a few grouse with it

chrisb · « **Reply #14 on:** January 01, 2010, 10:09:57 PM »

Out of curiosity is it the black or silver model?

woodswalker · « **Reply #15 on:** January 01, 2010, 10:27:25 PM »

I have one of the OLD ones...and it runs great and is FUN to shoot

Dirty Mike · « **Reply #16 on:** January 01, 2010, 10:45:53 PM »

who makes it and does it ever jam?

superdown · « **Reply #17 on:** January 02, 2010, 08:36:28 AM »

I think henry makes them now but i am pretty sure somebody else has made them.

Dirty Mike · « **Reply #18 on:** January 02, 2010, 11:12:52 PM »

hey chrisb its the black model henry ar 7

chrisb · « **Reply #19 on:** January 03, 2010, 02:22:29 PM »

Good... I always thought the silver ones looked kinda junkie. Especially the stock.

uncoolperson · « **Reply #20 on:** January 05, 2010, 07:55:45 AM »

at a hundred, if you don't get it I will.

pretty happy with mine, just really finicky on ammo. Aside from that I'm happy I got rid of my 10/22 for it.

Dirty Mike · « **Reply #21 on:** January 06, 2010, 06:28:31 AM »

yeah im gonna get it
