Does that manufacturer still exist?

No. This was the only model they produced (a rifle and pistol), and Henry picked up the rights in 1998. I'm pretty sure "AR-7 Industries, 90-97", went broke as a result of poor materials and workmanship. The gun was designed by Eugene Stoner (AR-15 fame) for the Air Force, and is a very intriguing design. Henry now owns the patent, and appears to have solved the problems. The problem I have is due to state legislation. All firearms transfers MUST be approved by a background check of the recipient. So it looks like I'll just have to destroy it beyond use, and store the pieces in the attic. Or maybe another gun buy back program will come along. . . .

Unless you already know it is a hot gun, then just carry it to a pawn shop or gun store and sell it. Tell the guy you are selling it to about the chain fire issues -- he probably won't care too much as he knows he can get the gun fixed or fix it himself.

The issue with the gun is that it was dry fired a lot and the firing pin is jammed/stuck in the out position, so every time the breech slams shut the stuck firing pin hits the rim of the next case and sets it off.

This is not hard to fix, BTW.

Those survival .22s will sell quick in just about any kind of shape, as preppers seem to think they need one.

Once transferred, save your copy of the paperwork for a record of transfer and FORGET ABOUT IT.

Issue over.
