ammo test, ruger 22/45, henry u.s. survival(ar7)

a basic function check of these two weapons, to determine if ammo is an issue. the answer I have come up with in this case is ammo is usually not the issue, the weapon operator is usually the culprit, with occasional dud round.

Is that a sling on the henry? Where'd you get that looks pretty cool

[smithjacusmc]

@Ricco86 home made rig, from various tie down straps and buckle parts. modeled it after a military version I saw on some M16s with the full stock instead of the 6 position type.

To bad I live in Australia gun laws are fucked in this country!! Would love to own the new henry!!

[smithjacusmc]

@browny646 well maybe someday you guys can turn it around on the gun grabbers there, hopefully we can hold em off here.

@Tinstar2 Laws over here arnt that bad I do have a Lee Enfield .303 and remington 788 in .223 however to get a licence for semi auto over here is INCREDIBLY hard, you either must be a land owner of over 100 acres of land or have a collectors licence which is even harder to get, our laws on having ammo for our guns are worse!! They are trying to bring in a law that when we buy ammo there must be record of how much we buy and the dealer must register that info with the government!!! ridiculous!!

@browny646 I really am sorry for you good folks in Australia and other countries that have such terrible gun laws. The liberals in this country keep trying to take our guns away, but thank God for the 2nd. amendment to our Constitution and instutions like the National Rifle Association that protect our rights to possess most any kind of firearm. I have one of the Henry US Survival rifles and it is a great little gun. I'm sorry that you can't get one.  Maybe one day...?!

Admittedly a little harder to nail game with...but far easier to grab and use fast when an opertunity to add rabbit to the nights meal arrises...and fun to plink with when yer bored...but the AR7 is kinda nostalgic to I guess...you can never have too many fun rimfire toys

[jonboynumba1]

I dunno I tried the AR7 route and it fits in a pack and is a nifty idea...to me an accurate .22 pistol with or without a supressor makes far more sense in the real world as a kit gun and adds utillity as a target gun training tool in the collection...the ar7 has funky sights and ergos and add a scope it doesn't pack as well...pistol if you have time to brace is accessible and instantly usable in a kit

@jonkilmer depends.. the whole point for the gun is for a light-weight, water-proof gun that can colapse down into small area... the only point in buying this gun is if weight is a necessity @ you plan on backpacking and want to carry a gun to hunt but dont want to lug around a heavy ass rifle and its ammo..

[jonkilmer]

lookin into gettin a henery ar-7 positive encouragement anyone?

I have a ruger mkiii basically the same gun as the 22/45 and my father has a 22/45. We mainly mostly shoot paper with them, but I have put over 5000 rounds of the cheap federal walmart ammo through my mkiii in the first year I've owned it w/o a single misfire/misfeed. Maybe I'm just lucky... I do clean the gun every time I come in from the range, but for shooting paper the cheap stuff is fine by me. I never hit the range w/o burning through a 550 brick of 22. Too much fun ;)
