Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Survival Arms AR-7 emergency/"survival" .22 reclamation project.

the 22 hornet might be a tad light for the buff.

No, and I was not talking about you, either. I never said that I knew or even heard the man say he took it from his Gov't. His service record co incides with when Survival arms was making these, and he is an anti Fed kind of guy now, but that is all I had. Just tossing out some fun stuff to stir the pot a little.

He probably bought it with one of his US Navy paychecks while on leave. Like many others. No record I know of says that the Survival Arms products ever saw any military service now that I have checked further and had some members here post some details and better theories. I had thought, before i was able to find references, that perhaps Survival arms co had been making these BEFORE Charter Arms started in with them. I had never heard of that company before getting this gun. Turns out I was mistaken about the order of manufacturers and when the makers were building AR-7's. The gun looked old and rough, no nice touches to it like the new Henry's have so it looked about 60's or so mil spec and that only, to my eyes. Turns out is probably is about a 1990 rifle.

Maybe he can hire Doug Chester, Esquire.

Jorge,

The Buffalo and Sable hunt was in, I think, 2006 and it went great.

The next year, (whatever year that was, '07 or '08) some of the same guys and a couple of new ones went back without me for an Elephant hunt. That one did turn out poorly, and was a major percursor to my cutting ties with that outfit. That was the year that my health went in the can, and I closed up the Safari biz right after.

Old Toot, I was in the hunt booking business for decades and had many a good hunt and hunt result. I tried to go on the hunts with my clients as oft as I could in part to make sure everything was going right for them and sometimes acting as a guide or PH assistant. Shooting bait animals, building blinds, helping the game scouts and Trackers put the baits up etc.

Not going anywhere, I have many many good freinds here and enjoy my time here quite a bit. A few turkeys who like to stalk me here are not going to spoil the fun for me here.

To whomever asked where I was, been driving home from the Transplant hospital. Long drive from Seattle to Walla Walla and I just got in.

A delay in a response is not cowardly, continuing to stalk and toss names at a man for years after the events, and when there is another side to the story that is conveniently ignored, from the safety and anonymity of the internet is for certain cowardly at best.

Over and out on this thread, Thanks to those who opined on the possible histories of the AR-7 and shared stories about theirs.

Mark-...Did you warn them and offer a refund prior to their departure?...

Thinking his present medications may have influenced some of his answers and dialogue on this thread. Call it the benefit of the doubt.

Mark-

What was the upshot (as in a resolution) for the poor bastards who you sent on a hunt where you knew in advance the guide/outfitter was of questionable character?

You were waiting for the next crew to to return with a report? Did you warn them and offer a refund prior to their departure? did they go/ did you get a report of their hunt?

Why was the hunt that was posted about almost cancelled because you were late in sending their money to the guide/outfitter?

Why did you never respond to that thread and try to clear things up?

Where'd Safariman go? Ironbender asks a few questions and "poof", eh?
