As much as CNN bashes gun owners and gun rights they took the advertising dollars. It shows you what whores they actually are.

You DO realize that Henry is like the 3rd company to produce the AR7 ?
Originally it was put out by Armalite, then some one else, I THINK it was Charter Arms, Now Henry, there might have been other manufacturers in between. Makes me think that while there may be a niche for it in the market, (I wouldn't mind having one ) It doesn't seem to support it's self in the long run.

I belive that the AR 7 is a very usefull tool that has a place. However, marketing of everything else new and changes in the mindset of outdoorsmen have overshadowed a very practicle survival tool.
On the topic of the commercial that started this thread: Have you ever looked around your home, the items you purchase, or if you sell the items you sell for where they are from? I got frustrated with one of our major suppliers for one of the items we purchase from them that I learned comes from China. I'm waiting to see why they made the jump across the big pond. Everything else is from North America, with most out of the U.S. However, they have started a little crack with this one area, and I fear they could go more and more that way.
I am currently fighting the industry trend to purchase caskets from China. They are cheaper, but the key word is cheap. They are not inexpensive. There is a difference in cost vs. value, and I don't want to get into the situation of working harder to make a cheap product acceptable to people that expect a certain level of quality regardless of how much they want cheap ... Actually what they want is inexpensive, but the retail market is responding by providing cheap.

Yes, it was Charter Arms.... I think it never really caught on b/c it is known for not being very accurate.

But the kid in the video said it was "pretty accurate". 8)
And Remington Thunderbolts are high quality .22 rounds. ;D

I wanna say it was a Marlin at one point to. Either way it was the gun used in the now infamous book "Hit man". The books been out of print since the law suit against Paladin Press, & check out the prices it brings on Ebay ($120 for a once $4 paperback!) :o
At one point the AR7 was available in S.S., and camo. They look neat, and used to go for $79 bucks... Just to "toy like" to actually buy. :-\ Still neat to see! :)

I've heard that if the taxidermist is "good", you won't NEED a drip pan. ;D

Yeh, and if we all lived right there would be no need for asbestos underware either ;)
I still like the message in the Henry commercials. I'd like to know if CNN sold the time knowing it was a gun commercial or if they just whored their station.

But Badger where to you stow the barrel, action and magazine? Sort of the idea behind the AR-7.

Wouldn't mind seeing the "Scout" Rifle with a .410 & .22 in this type of package.

That looks like the factory stock that majestic arms uses on their MA-2000. http://www.majesticarms.com/id13.html

CNN must be getting desperate if they have a gun commercial or the word gun is on thier network that's not refered to in a negative way.
