The prototype of what would become the AR-7 was designed by Eugene Stoner at ArmaLite Inc., a division of Fairchild
Aircraft. The rifle shares some of the features of the bolt-action AR-5, another rifle designed by Stoner for ArmaLite and
adopted by the United States Air Force in 1956 as the MA-1. The MA-1 was intended to replace the M4 Survival Rifle and
the M6 Aircrew Survival Weapon which was a superimposed ("over-under") twin-barrel rifle/shotgun chambered in .22
Hornet and .410 bore, using a break-open action. The AR-5 had the advantage of repeat fire over the then-standard M6,
using the same .22 Hornet cartridge. When the AR-5 was adopted as the MA-1 but was not placed in issue due to the
numbers of M4 and M6 survival weapons in USAF inventory, ArmaLite used the research and tooling for the AR-5 in
developing the AR-7 for the civilian market.

The AR-7 uses a blowback semi-automatic action in .22 Long Rifle but retains the AR-5/MA-1 feature of storing the
disassembled parts within the hollow stock, which is filled with plastic foam and capable of floating. Like the bolt-action
AR-5, the AR-7 was designed as a survival rifle for foraging small game for food. The AR-7 is constructed primarily of
aluminum, with plastic for the stock and buttcap. Even the barrel is aluminum (in later production composite material),
using a rifled steel barrel liner. The AR-7 measures 35 inches overall when assembled. It disassembles to four sections
(barrel, action, stock, and magazine), with the four parts storing inside the plastic stock measuring 16 inches long. The rifle
weighs 2.5 pounds light enough for convenient backpacking. The rear sight is a peep sight, which comes on a flat metal
blade with an aperture (in later production two different size apertures), and is adjustable for elevation (up-down). The front
sight is adjustable for windage (side-side). Accuracy is sufficient for hunting small game at ranges to 50-75 yards.
All this for around $299.00 (suggested retail) and made in the U.S.A.
